+README.SBo - configuration help for squid from SlackBuilds.org
+
+==============================================================================
+
+Uncomment and edit the following lines in /etc/squid.conf:
+
+http_port <port> <option>
+
+    Set <port> to the port you want Squid to listen on, default is 3128
+
+    Set <option> to 'transparent' if you want to make Squid a 
+    transparent proxy through the use of IPTables DNAT/REDIRECT rules.
+    Note that this now replaces the older method of using httpd_accel.
+    Leave blank otherwise.
+
+cache_peer, never_direct/always_direct
+
+    If you have a parent cache, put it here.  The administrators of the
+    parent cache typically provided you with instructions.  You should
+    always ask permission before adding a parent cache. See also the
+    never_direct/always_direct directives. 
+
+    Note, if you don't have a cache_peer, you'll most likely need to use
+    'always_direct allow all'
+
+cache_dir <storage> /var/log/squid/cache <mem> <L1> <L2>
+
+    Set <storage> to 'aufs' if you want an asynchronous storage facility 
+    that allows Squid to access the disk without blocking; otherwise
+    use 'ufs' here.
+
+    Set <mem> to the number of megabytes you want Squid to use for its
+    cache, default is '100'
+
+    Set <L1> to the number of top-level directories to use for the cache,
+    default is '16'
+
+    Set <L2> to the number of sub-directories to use for the cache,
+    default is '256'
+
+acl, http_access, icp_access
+
+    Access control lists.  This is important because it prevents people
+    from stealing your network resources.  To fill in the
+    "allowed_hosts" ACL, use your network address (for instance
+    192.168.10.0 and your network mask.
+
+        acl manager proto cache_object
+        acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32
+        acl localnet src 192.168.10.0/24
+
+        http_access allow manager localhost
+        http_access deny manager
+        http_access allow localnet
+        http_access deny all
+
+        icp_access allow localnet 
+        icp_access deny all
+
+cache_mgr
+
+    Put here the e-mail address of the manager:
+
+cache_effective_user
+
+    If you must start Squid as root, find a safe user and group to run
+    as after startup (typically "nobody" and "nogroup").  Do not use
+    "root", for security reasons.
+
+visible_hostname
+
+    The host name you advertise for the cache.
+
+==============================================================================
+
+After editing squid.conf to your liking, run Squid from the command
+line TWICE:
+
+    % /usr/sbin/squid -z
+    % /usr/sbin/squid 
+
+Check in the cache.log (/var/log/squid/cache.log) that
+everything is all right.
