>From osdir.com screenshots:
host:
http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?release=3D184&slide=3D7
domain:
http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/slideshow.php?release=3D184&slide=3D8=20

I don't know if the fqdn is build from those . My main point is that the
installer ask those data. Maybe it just fill /etc/hostname and this may
not be enough for squid to setup properly.=20

I would let you and the squid maintenair determine if the bug is in the
installer not filling all configuration files, that the box was not
setup with a valid domain during base setup, or if etherconf or such
package is required before squid.

Maybe even the squid installer script could check if a valid fqdn is
available. But if something was done wrong during the install, it s not
squid job to fix the network configuration.

I am considering reassigning it to the installer , they know what they
setup better.=20
Luigi if you don't know either would you mind if i reassign it ?

Sorry i know few about the installer internals. I am confident that it
at least set the fqdn build from installer query about hostname + domain
in /etc/hostname. Mine contains somthing like :
test.domain.net
