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.

basic_radius_auth -f config file basic_radius_auth -h server name port ] [-i identifier ] -w secret [-t timeout ] DESCRIPTION
basic_radius_auth allows Squid to connect to a RADIUS server to validate the user name and password of Basic HTTP authentication. OPTIONS
-f configfile Specifies the path to a configuration file. See the CONFIGURATION section for details on the file content. -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 to identify the proxy. -w secret Alternative method of specifying the shared secret. Using the -f option with a configuration file is generally more secure and recommended. -t timeout RADIUS request timeout. Default is 10 seconds. CONFIGURATION

Lines beginning with a # are 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 name the proxy should use to identify itself to the RADIUS server. This directive is optional. port portnumber Specifies the port number or service name where the helper should connect. timeout seconds Specifies the RADIUS request timeout. AUTHOR
