initializing squid and dns??
hello nubie here,
am trying to setup a DNS/nat and squid proxy server. i have succeesfully done DHCP server with it but on the client machine it gives me this line
root@loxie debloxie]# /sbin/ifup eth0
Determining IP information for eth0....done
/sbin/ifup: line 359: [ : : integer expression expected
[root@loxie debloxie]#
it gives the IP all the same but i dont know what the statement is for?
secondly i got bind to work, but i can do host,dig and traceroute commands for various sites but when i do host for my DHCP server wch should double as the clients DNSserver, it says
[root@loxie debloxie]# host 192.116.66.220
;;connection timed out; no servers could be reached.
but i was able to get do host for the various websites?
The last is that after setting squid i mistakenly tried to initialize as root instead of the default squid and it gave me an error like
Initializing the Squid cache with the command squid -f /etc/squid/squid.conf -z ..
2004/01/17 10:25:06| Squid is not safe to run as root! If you must
2004/01/17 10:25:06| start Squid as root, then you must configure
2004/01/17 10:25:06| it to run as a non-priveledged user with the
2004/01/17 10:25:06| 'cache_effective_user' option in the config file.
FATAL: Don't run Squid as root, set 'cache_effective_user'!
