| This started as plea for help with getting Squid 1.1.22 to work at
| all, as I worked through what I had done the solution became obvious,
| I've left all of that in the message in case it is of interest to
| anyone.
|
| My problem now is that I can get the basic configuration to work but
| the configuration created by the installation gives me an access
| error. I'd love to hear from anyone who has got it work on SCO
| Openserver 5.0.2 or 5.0.4

I compiled squid-2.2.STABLE4 last weekend on OSR 5.0.5, having never
seen it before.  "No Hacking Required (TM)."   I didn't muck with what you
did, trying to make it run on port 80.  I've got it on the port it uses
by default, 3128, and have set /usr/local/squid and everything below it
to be owned by "nouser".

I then added this to the squid.conf file:
        redirect_program /usr/local/squid/squid_redirect
to use the ad-zapping stuff from www.zip.com.au/~cs/adzap/index.html,
pointed netscape to the proxy on port 3128, and I was done except
for a couple of crontab entries.

I then ported all of my work to a customer's site, where there's an
ever-changing dynamic IP number for their connection to an ISP, and
had all the Windows clients on their internal, non-routable, 192.168.x.y
network to point to the unix box, and bingo, they're getting net pages.

Seems pretty simple and direct to me...

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
