[squid-users] squid 3.3.8 failed to start because of hard-coded acl with ::1

#-=-=-=-=-= FYI -=-=-=-=-=-

This is probably a bug, but I can't create a bugzilla account as there
is no DNS PTR record for east.squid-cache.org, which I've raised with
postmaster@, hostmaster@ & root_at_packet-pushers.com

#-=-=-=-=-= FYI -=-=-=-=-=-

When using only IPv4, Squid 3.3.8 fails to start, citing bungled config.

FreeBSD uses a patch, see below.

$ uname -srp
OpenBSD 5.4 i386

$ pkg_info -I squid

$ fgrep family /etc/resolv.conf
family inet4
