hi all,

I am using squid 3.0Stable20-1 along with Shorewall 4.4.4-1 on a RHEL5 box.
I had a few problems running squid in transparent mode so now I am running
it in non-transparent mode. Every thing like browsing / IM tools working
fine. A major problem that I am facing is that quite a few users in my staff
uses TFS (Team Foundation Server - A code repository running on port 8080)
remotely. After installing squid they are hving great difficulty connecting
to that server. I am REDIRECTING port 80 traffic from shorewall to squid on
the same box. I tried same approach and REDIRECTED port 8080 traffic to
squid as well and made an ACL in squid.conf to allow that particular traffic
to that particular server address over port 8080.

When I see squid access log, traffic shows up there but with HTTP 401 code
that means not-authorized request. On TFS screen users also get "you are not
authorized to connect to this server" error. This does not make any sense
because without squid they jsut connect in first attempt.

Even I tried adding a rule in shorewall to process 8080 traffic before I
redirect traffic to squid, but that makes things unreliable in the sense
that some times it work, and at times it does not!
Can any one help suggesting any measures to get over with this?

Is this squid's normal behaviour to stop shorewall from normal working when
installed ? Does squid takes over control of system ports in use by
shorewall?
