At work we have a filter server running DansGuardian and Squid on top of OpenBSD. It was setup by my predecessor, and has worked so reliably that I haven't even looked at it hardly before. Well, last week we started having problem with the filtering. I ssh'ed into the filter server and started poking around. It seems that when the server boots up, and squid gets launched, it will not open any tcp port for incoming connections. It is *supposed* to be openning port 3128, the default port. However, after launching squid, and confirming that it is running by running "ps ax | grep squid", if I run "netstat -an" there is no entry for port 3128. In fact, it doesn't appear that squid has opened any other tcp port either.
When DansGuardian attempts to launch, it fails to connect to the proxy server, and exits.
Does anyone have any idea why squid would be unable to open the tcp port? Is there any way I can get debugging info from Squid to find out why it is unable to open tcp/3128?
