Thanks Gavin. I just checked ownership of /var/spool/squid/ and found that it was proxy. proxy. I then checked and while there is a user named 'squid' there is none called 'proxy'. Likewise there was only a group called, 'squid', none named, 'proxy'. Does that matter? Here are the precise permissions for the folder /var/spool/:
r...@gcos1:/var/spool# ls -l total 28 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-09-22 16:49 anacron drwxr-xr-x 5 daemon daemon 4096 2008-09-22 16:12 cron drwx--x--- 3 root lp 4096 2009-03-07 22:11 cups drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-10-20 13:10 cups-pdf drwxr-x--- 5 Debian-exim Debian-exim 4096 2008-12-28 19:34 exim4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2008-09-22 15:55 mail -> ../mail drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-09-22 16:11 openoffice drwxr-x--- 2 proxy proxy 4096 2009-03-08 16:26 squid r...@gcos1:/var/spool# Any thoughts?
