I have removed Squid and reinstalled Squid2 (stable) and it will still not 'work out of the box' :-( If I point to squid (in my Netscape proxy settings) NS takes an eternity to decide that it can not find the page (e.g. www.dogpile.com) and then squid tells me that I may not have rights to access the site.

Squid will NOT work out of the box. It does need manual configuration, but in my experience all you need to do is set the IP it listens to, the port, and the access rules. Then just say, in Netscape, the servername and the port, and all should be OK. If you need to do more with it, I recommend you start in /usr/doc/packages/squid or /usr/doc/packages/squid2, or the squid website. -- James Samuel Network Manager, SuSE Linux Ltd.
