>( e.g. home.netscape.com ) i get the following message:

Squid won't run as root any more.. Have you done a make install? That
sets everything to the right paths... assuming you're sticking everything
in /squid ...

proxy# ./configure -prefix=/squid
[blah blah blah]
proxy# make
[much more blah blah]
proxy# make install

That -will- work. I run squid as the uid/gid of squid/squid, and did a
chown -R squid /squid to make sure everything was owned by the right user.

Also, that error could be because you're running a UDP firewall on that
machine, which is giving the machine an error when it tries to do a DNS
query (which uses UDP)
