Hi again, I finally found the cause for my headache. It was a malformed /etc/hosts file.
My box has 2 NICs (with 2 IP adresses, of course). The file contained something like this: IPaddr1 mybox.mydomain mybox IPaddr2 mybox.mydomain which is obviously wrong, since mybox.mydomain would resolve to more than one distinct IP adress what caused Squid to fail. After assigning a different hostname to IPaddr2 in the file (the same one that my DNS server would do) it worked. How cold this happen? I never edited the file before. It must have been some SuSE magic. Bye, Holger Am Montag, 11. August 2003 16:45 schrieb Holger Schletz: > Hi, > > I have a problem with my Squid 2.5.STABLE1 (from my SuSE 8.2 distro).
