We have had no problems for about 2 years....

But this morning things appear to have gone a little bit STRANGE......

The Linux box was running extremely slowly an we had no Internet access, a reboot did not help.

TOP showed a large number of squid processes, with squid killed off the machine ran fine.

I re-installed squid from the Mandrake RPM, and there was still no traffic throughput. I removed the squidGuard re-director and everything burst into life.

After much examination playing about, reinstalling squidGuard etc , etc it's still not working..

Strangely ( Very Strangely ), whilst the cache.log shows squid starting the re-directors they don't appear as Processes.. What does show is a further set of squid processes ( the same number as re-director children ) !!! So it seems that squid is somehow launching itself as a re-director.

I have manualy tested squidGuard as root and it works fine,

I am very confused now.


Help!


Robin
