Squid not caching properly

Hi guys,

Not sure if this post is in the right thread, if not please let me know and I'll ask for it to be moved ) :

I've set up the Squid proxy on my linux box (SuSE 10.1). About 4 people connect to the Internet via the proxy at the moment, and it's working fine.

However - in the access.log, everything is mostly TCP_MISS, very rarely does it actually cache something. If it doesn't cache it doesn't really have much use, does it? Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

NAME
squid_unix_group - Squid UNIX Group external_acl helper SYNOPSIS
squid_unix_group [-g groupname] [-g groupname...] [-p] DESCRIPTION
This helper allows Squid to base access controls on users memberships in UNIX groups. -g groupname Specifies a group name to match. -p Also match the users primary group from /etc/passwd EXAMPLES
This squid.conf example defines two Squid acls. usergroup1 matches users in group1, and usergroup2 matches users in group2 or group3 external_acl_type unix_group %LOGIN /usr/local/squid/libexec/squid_unix_group -p acl usergroup1 external unix_group group1 acl usergroup2 external unix_group group2 group3 NOTES
By default up to 11 groups can be matched in one acl (including commandline specified groups). This limit is defined by MAX_GROUPS in the source code. AUTHOR
