Re: [squid-users] squid opening strange port

Thanks for the help, but while I was searching around for this, I saw
some cache.log from
other people and squid was not acting like mine.

Like this:

Dec 11 09:48:20 *ns **squid*[23987]: Starting *Squid* Cache version
2.3.STABLE4 for i686-pc-linux-gnu...
Dec 11 09:48:20 *ns **squid*[23987]: Process ID 23987 Dec 11 09:48:20
*ns **squid*[23987]: With 1024 file descriptors available
Dec 11 09:48:20 *ns **squid*[23987]: DNS *Socket **created* on *FD* 5

from /etc/resolv.conf
Dec 11 09:48:20 *ns **squid*[23987]: Adding nameserver 193.226.99.17
from /etc/resolv.conf
Dec 11 09:48:20 *ns **squid*[23987]: Adding nameserver 193.226.99.18
from /etc/resolv.conf
Dec 11 09:48:22 *ns **squid*[23987]: Unlinkd pipe opened on *FD* 10
