Re: [squid-users] ncsa_auth process dying after a while

It might be that they die during log rotation...

When Squid rotates it's logs it also restarts all the helpers. If your
machine is low on swap (less than a couple of times the Squid process
time, preferably much more) then this may fail due to how UNIX starts
new processes (first duplicates the first process, i.e. squid, and then
replaces the copy with the new program). If your Squid process is big
then a lot of swap will be needed for this to work (the swap only needs
to be available, it isn't used for anything)
