squid3: EUI error with 3.3.4 and OSX Server 10.6.8

[rrichardson@…]

Sorry about my previous post. I did not notice that I had pasted the same error message in both places. My major problem is as follows...

I upgraded my squid 3.3.4 servers from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8. Now I'm getting a flood of the following messages in the log…

squid[927]: ERROR: ARP / MAC / EUI-* operations not supported on this operating system.

On a heavily used system this eventually causes squid to crash and restart.

Searching shows that someone who installed without MacPorts fixed this by recompiling with "./configure --disable-eui", but that doesn't appear to be an option with MacPorts. Any idea what I can do about this? (Maybe there's a way to do this. I'm an old mainframer, and can code in assembly and PL/1, but never had the pleasure of developing in C.)

Thanks for any help, Ron

What is your basis for saying that this message is what is causing squid to crash? Can you attach the crash log?

Putting eui_lookup off in your squid.conf should stop the message from being logged.

Replying to jmr@…:

Putting eui_lookup off in your squid.conf should stop the message from being logged.

Thank you. This has stopped the messages. Hoping that the crashes will stop also when I shift the load back to these servers.

EUI is turned off by default in squid4 and squid5.
