maybe on the client side ? but i d'ont think that the problem is here

They are not crashing but it simply seems that sending HUP signal to
squidGuard is killing squidguard redirectors, so during the lists
reloading, redirectors are not availiable and squid crash and restart :

Nov 17 22:35:06 proxy squid[25267]: Too few redirector processes are running
Nov 17 22:35:06 proxy squid[25063]: Squid Parent: child process 25267
exited due to signal 6
2004-11-17 22:35:06 [25272] squidGuard stopped (1100727306.777)
Nov 17 22:35:09 proxy squid[25063]: Squid Parent: child process 25300
started

so it is bad to kill squidguard.

squid -k reconfigure seems to do the same, but.....

error : can't read /etc/squid.conf : permission denied
Well.... It crashes here!!!!!! and then really restart, rebuilding its
cache (very long)
/etc/squid.conf belongs to root, so let's change it to :

chown proxy.proxy /etc/squid.conf

And it's OK !!!!!!!!!! downloads are not interrupted anymore with squid
-k reconfigure

so you were right !

the strangest thing is that squid was accepting to start, but not
reloading with /etc/squid.conf root owned...

Thanks a lot
