Re: [squid-users] Stange "Access Denied" issue

Hi again,

I finally found the cause for my headache. It was a malformed /etc/hosts file.

My box has 2 NICs (with 2 IP adresses, of course). The file contained
something like this:

IPaddr1 mybox.mydomain mybox
IPaddr2 mybox.mydomain

which is obviously wrong, since mybox.mydomain would resolve to more than one
distinct IP adress what caused Squid to fail. After assigning a different
hostname to IPaddr2 in the file (the same one that my DNS server would do) it
worked.

How cold this happen? I never edited the file before. It must have been some
SuSE magic.

Bye,
Holger
