It only takes a second to run a text search on squid.conf, you don't
have to read the whole thing.

A text search on what? Hostname? I'll try to remember that trick
next time.

# TAG: visible_hostname
# If you want to present a special hostname in error messages,

With that parenthesis, that looks like a command; so I tried it :

[btth@Hbsk2 ~]$ gethostname
bash: gethostname: command not found
[btth@Hbsk2 ~]$

(Same result as root, btw)

If you have multiple caches in a cluster and #

names with this setting.

Caches? Cluster?? Geek to me...

#
#Default:
# none

I don't have any special setting for that in the squid.conf file on my
F8 and Centos 5 computers. I vaguely remember having to set that option
previously; I think it was when I was using a single-word name for my
computer. After I started using a "fully qualified" name, I no longer
had to set it. (This computer is named mutt.melvilletheatre.net -- if I
had named it mutt then I would have to put a fully qualified name in the
squid.conf file.)

Hmmm .... I left "localdomain" on all mine, for fear of getting
in trouble if I changed it. Maybe I should?

What do you get when you type

hostname

at a bash prompt?

[btth@Hbsk2 ~]$ hostname
Hbsk2.localdomain
[btth@Hbsk2 ~]$
