Please try a later version of squid.
Will do once sorted ;-)


Have just built a SuSE linux box and installed squid, as I have done many times, copied the conf and ACL text files from a running proxy and get the following list of errors for each ...

2008/02/19 10:27:42| strtokFile: /etc/squid/etc/girls.txt
2008/02/19 10:27:42| aclParseAclLine: WARNING: empty ACL: auid/etc/girls.txt"

I'm thinking at first glance that "auid" might be a problem.
It's usually a sign of non-ascii characters cut-n-pasted into the squid.conf text.
At this stage I've only removed a few unrequired ACL's, not edited the text in any way. While waiting for a reply, I've started rebuilding the box from scratch as it only takes a few minutes.
I will check the text for anomalies in the meantime - thanks ;-)

P.S I've lost the original thread, but would like to thank you for helping with a previous problem, you suggested that the ISP might be block ports, they were! 3128! - I have tried 3129 and it works fine, are there any recommended ports to use with squid other than 80 or 8080?

If I copy and past the address in the error to a file browser, I get to see the file!

This works perfectly on the previous machine running the same version of SuSE & Squid!
I have re-installed squid.
Can anyone please offer a solution?

Kind regards
Adrian

girls.txt is just a list of MAC addresses
e.g.
00:1B:77:8A:D5:CF # Wir User Name
00:1B:24:7E:CB:B1 # LAN User Name
etc.

<SNIP squid conf>
# Groups follow...
#

acl girls arp "/etc/squid/etc/girls.txt"
acl temp arp "/etc/squid/etc/temp.txt"

acl boys arp "/etc/squid/etc/boys.txt"
acl staff arp "/etc/squid/etc/staff.txt"
#
# Times follow...
#
acl 24Hr time M T W H F A S 00:00-23:59
</SNIP>

Please use Squid 2.6STABLE17+ or 3.0STABLE1+
There are serious security advisories out on all earlier releases.
