+Squid is a high-performance proxy caching server for web clients,
+supporting FTP, gopher, and HTTP data objects. Unlike traditional caching
+software, squid handles all requests in a single, non-blocking, I/O-driven
+process.
+
+Squid supports SSL, extensive access controls, and full request logging.
+By using the lightweight Internet Cache Protocol, squid caches can be
+arranged in a hierarchy or mesh for additional bandwidth savings.
+
+*** NOTE: default paths have changed from prior version ***
+If you need the old paths, edit /etc/squid/squid.conf, /etc/rc.d/rc.squid,
+and /etc/logrotate.d/squid as needed.
+
+If you need to start squid at boot, make sure /etc/rc.d/rc.squid is
+executable and add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.squid ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.squid start
+ fi
+
+See /usr/doc/squid-3.0.STABLE2/README.SBo for configuration help.
