Comment 3 for bug 1235681

I have also encountered the two issues Michael mentions and two others in the upstart script /etc/init/squid3 that are - from my perspective - essential to get SMP Squid3 working. They are:

* an "expect daemon" line needs to be included
* a statement that checks for the presence of /var/run/squid3 and creates the directory if necessary, as well as granting the squid3 process owner write permissions in the directory.

However; seeing as this issue has not seen any activity or resolution, is my impression correct that (a) SMP Squid has very few active users, and (b) despite this being a buggy feature in an LTS release, this is not a priority to be fixed?
