[Bug 580590] Re: Squid no longer uses $SQUID_MAXFD

[Andrew Glen-Young]

Steps to reproduce
==================

Initial Install and Tests
-------------------------

$ sudo apt-get install squid squid-client
$ grep MAX /etc/default/squid·
SQUID_MAXFD=1024
$ sudo status squid
squid start/running, process 2671
$ squidclient -p 3128 -l 127.0.0.1 -h 127.0.0.1 mgr:info | grep 'Maximum number'
    Maximum number of file descriptors:   1024

Change SQUID_MAXFD and try again
--------------------------------

$ sudo sed -i 's/SQUID_MAXFD=1024/SQUID_MAXFD=65536/' /etc/default/squid
$ grep MAX /etc/default/squid·
SQUID_MAXFD=65536
$ sudo stop squid
squid stop/waiting
$ sudo start squid
squid start/running, process 2758
$ squidclient -p 3128 -l 127.0.0.1 -h 127.0.0.1 mgr:info | grep 'Maximum number'
    Maximum number of file descriptors:   1024

Apply the patch (attached) and retry:
-------------------------------------

$ sudo vi /etc/init/squid.conf
[ patch ]
$ sudo status squid
squid stop/waiting
$ sudo start squid
squid start/running, process 2794
$ squidclient -p 3128 -l 127.0.0.1 -h 127.0.0.1 mgr:info | grep 'Maximum number'
    Maximum number of file descriptors:   65536

That's more like it!

Note: LP#573853 was affecting me as well so I'm also running squid on
Lucid with this patch applied as well.
