[squid-users] NCSA child processes problem

Hi everybody!

I'm totally new to squid, and I have a problem with NCSA.
I'm using squid 2.6 stable1-20060727 on FC3 with kernel 2.6.17.6.

Starting squid with NCSA authentication, I've got this in squid log:

2006/08/06 15:18:05| helperOpenServers: Starting 5 'ncsa_auth' processes
2006/08/06 15:18:05| WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth' process.
2006/08/06 15:18:05| WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth' process.
2006/08/06 15:18:05| WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth' process.
2006/08/06 15:18:05| WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth' process.
2006/08/06 15:18:05| WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth' process.
Although, pstree tells that squid process have 5 child processes named
suid and one names unlinkd.
pstree
...
     ├─squid───squid─┬─5*[squid]
     │ └─unlinkd
...
After stopping squid, there are still 5 processes named squid.
pstree
...
    ├─5*[squid]
...

So that after n restarts squid has 5*n+2 pids, and I have to stop them
manually.

I'm sure that squid has all rights to all files it needs, and all paths
are correct.

Please tell me what's wrong, and how to make it work.
