Was squidGuard installed, up and running, blocking appropriately and logging before you started implementing ident?

I run 'squid -k reconfigure' to do the same thing (except I don't have any 'proggies'). > Bottom line: > Every time squid gets reinitialized, I see an error as soon as > 'ident_lookup on' is encountered. I'm running squid 2.4 STABLE7, as > included in corpserv 2.0, fully patched (to those whom this actually > means anything ;-)). It sounds like you have a Smoothwall problem. You are running Squid 2.4 STABLE4, and the 'ident_lookup' parameter was removed way back in the 2.2 release of Squid. (See: <http://sunsite.bilkent.edu.tr/pub/infosystems/Squid/Versions/v2/2.2/>) So you need to skip the CGI script and configure it manually (which I wouldn't recommend unless you know everything it is doing), or you need something updated. The changes that I made to squid.conf for ident included: acl my_users ident bob carol ted alice http_access allow my_users acl ident_aware_hosts src 192.168.44.0/255.255.255.0 ident_lookup_access allow ident_aware_hosts Hope that helps!
