[NTLUG:Discuss] squid

[Greg E]

What is squid?  I look at the README but it only talks about how wonderful
it is an not what it is.

The last couple of nights I've noticed a connect on my line and it would
just stay up even though I wasn't doing anything.  At first I thought it was
comming from a cron job RH install had left in cron for a news ftpget but I
got that out and it still connected.  I finally tracked it down to squid
and the log shows some real long $$$$$ connects doing an ftpget!!  I've got
it off now but I'm interested in anything I can find out about it.
