Full access for whom? Full for your user, a system process, root?

- try sudoing to read the log

- try chmod (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod#Usage).

chown root:root *.log

hmmm ... if you chown root:root, and the log can only be written by its owner, will the proxy account (i.e. the squid process) still be able to write to the log files ? that's what they're for, no ?

how are you trying to read the logs ?

what happens if you do

sudo -i
tail /var/log/squid/access.log

exit

:lolflag: yup you are right I guess it should be squid:root

sudo chmod +r *.logShould make the files readable by anyone.

You can also add your user to the proxy group and you will be able to read them.

Million ways to do things, that is the best part of this

sudo chmod +r *.logShould make the files readable by anyone.

Actually, I think (technically), that should be a+r.
