[plug] I think I broke it: Was:I've got my two computers going...thanks for assistance

[David Buddrige]

I figured it out - SQUID wasn't running after I rebooted the computer... 
even though it appears as /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K25squid in the startup 
scripts... I tried starting SQUID manually when I turned on the computer 
but it failed with a DNS problem... It seems to need to have the 
internet connected before it will allow me to run squid... and of 
course, when it loads (in the startup script), it hasn't yet connected 
to the internet... hence it fails, and then (a few moments later) the 
modem kicks in automatically, and connects to the net - but by then 
Squid has already fallen over... I'm using squid.novm... does anyone 
know if this is a particular flavour that has some kind of 
eccentricities I should know about?

cheers

David.
