Tom, thanks for your reply. I tried (as root), and got the following result:

rhapsody:1# /usr/local/squid/bin/RunCache &
[1] 529
rhapsody:2# Running: squid -sY >> /usr/local/squid/squid.out 2>&1

RunCache: EXITING DUE TO REPEATED, FREQUENT FAILURES

The machine was running fine until earlier today, when I had to reboot it - but I know that it *can* work (someone else made it happen last time but I wasn't around to learn how).

Any thoughts?

Terry.
