Client web pages very slow to load. Squid issue?
Hi.

I have netBSD box acting as gateway, ftp, mail & web server, etc. It is now seven years old and has never missed a beat. The only problem is that the (Windows) boxes in my little network are now experiencing VERY slow web page loads.

The other problem is that in the years since a Unix guru friend set the system up for me he has become unavailable for help, and I've forgotten 99% of the Unix stuff I learned back then.

So, my question is whether Squid may be the issue here. Like, is it possible that it's cache has grown too large? Is there some maintenance that I should be doing? Any tips on determining whether it is even Squid that is the cause of the issue?

I know you'll probably need some precice version and config info - just say the word and I'll provide it the best I can.

Thanking you all in advance.

squid_radius_auth

squid_radius_auth(8)                                          System Manager's Manual                                         squid_radius_auth(8)

NAME

       squid_radius_auth - Squid RADIUS authentication helper

SYNOPSIS

       squid_radius_auth -f configfile
       squid_radius_auth -h "server" [-p port] [-i identifier] -w secret

DESCRIPTION

       This helper allows Squid to connect to a RADIUS server to validate the user name and password of Basic HTTP authentication.

       -f configfile
              Specifies the path to a configuration file. See the CONFIGURATION section for details.

       -h server
              Alternative method of specifying the server to connect to

       -p port
              Specify  another  server  port where the RADIUS server listens for requests if different from the default RADIUS port.  Normally not
              specified.

       -i identifier
              Unique identifier identifying this Squid proxy to the RADIUS server.  If not specified the IP address is used  as  to  identify  the
              proxy.

       -w secret
              Alternative method of specifying the shared secret. Using the configuration file is generally more secure and recommended.

       -t timeout
              RADIUS request timeout. Default 10 seconds.

CONFIGURATION

       The configuration specifies how the helper connects to RADIUS.  The file contains a list of directives (one per line). Lines beginning with
       a # is ignored.

       server radiusserver
              specifies the name or address of the RADIUS server to connect to.

       secret somesecretstring
              specifies the shared RADIUS secret.

       identifier nameofserver
              specifies what the proxy should identify itsels as to the RADIUS server.  This directive is optional.

       port portnumber
              Specifies the port number or service name where the helper should connect.
