Hi all
I have two proxy servers, both running the same OS and Squid
Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE5
Linux athena.wits.ac.za 2.4.20-8smp
Linux version 2.4.20-8smp ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.2.2
20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)) #1 SMP Thu Mar 13 17:45:54 EST 2003
On server 1, user authetication seems to be giving problems. A small percentage of users complain that their username and password combinations do not work. If I test from Netscape and IE with their user/pass combos I also have issues. When I test on the server 1 itself using the ncsa-auth command, I get an OK so I know the problem is not with my password file.
Comparing password files on the two servers also confirms that there are no probelms. If I change my browser to point to server 2, authetication works fine....so I'm pretty sure problem is related to the server 1 only.
I also noticed that when I do a squid -k reconfig on server 1, the problem disappears.
Any ideas folks?

If I'm reading this right, you are saying that when you initially start squid on server 1, it has problems with some user's authentication, but after you run a reconfig everything works just fine. If this is the case, I would venture a guess that you might have two different squid.conf files. One is read on startup (specified by /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid) and one is read when you run the squid -k reconfig (specified by how you compiled squid).
But this is just a guess, based on interpretation...
