Hi Christian
Thanks so much for your reply, I really appreciate it. I should have
been more precise in my last comment, sorry about that, but I wasn't too
sure whether anyone would be reading it ;).
I am currently running 16.04.1 Xenial and the file I am using in my
squid configuration is "/usr/lib/squid/ext_wbinfo_group_acl". But it
doesn't have the changes I suggested. In particular near the bottom of
the file there is still the line
$group =~ s/%([0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F])/pack("c",hex($1))/eg;
which should be
$group =~ s/%([0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F])/pack("C",hex($1))/eg;
and the other changes aren't there either. Just to make sure that this
is not something that I caused through a specific sever configuration of
mine I downloaded the xenial squid package from packages.ubuntu.com and
extracted it as an archive and looked at the contents. It doesn't have
the changes I mentioned. I then tried the same for the zesty package
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/amd64/squid/download) but it doesn't
have the changes either.
I didn't check the upstream debian packages though. Where did you see my
changes being adopted?
Maybe this is a very rare use case, or it might be that script works for
most people and only rarely causes crashes. I have this squid setup in
place at approximately 60 sites. It works for a lot of them, but there
are a select few sites were these changes are necessary to guarantee
stable operations (it only works for a short period of time, before
squid crashes). I suspect that there are some fishy user or group names
at those sites that cause the script and squid to fail, but I haven't
been able to pinpoint it.
