i think we've figured out what was wrong. A colleague found that the permissions were wrong on /dev/null (only root had access). Once we had changed this, squid was better. It no longer sits using up most of the CPU, but it does seem slower than normal. It's annoying that squid didn't show any errors (that i could find) even when on debug 9.
What other files/devices does squid use that should we check for permissions? thanks, chris -- The content of this e-mail is confidential, may contain privileged material and is intended solely for the recipient(s) named above.
