Amos,
Thanks for clarifying this.. Just tried it on my 3.1.8 using:

 auth_param negotiate program /usr/lib/squid/squid_kerb_auth -r
 auth_param negotiate children 120 startup=70 idle=10
 auth_param negotiate keep_alive on

and restarted Squid. Cache.log shows:

 2010/11/16 16:36:20| helperOpenServers: Starting 120/120
'squid_kerb_auth' processes

And on shut down I see:

 2010/11/16 16:36:19| Open FD UNSTARTED 10 squid_kerb_auth #1
 2010/11/16 16:36:19| Open FD UNSTARTED 12 squid_kerb_auth #2
 2010/11/16 16:36:19| Open FD UNSTARTED 14 squid_kerb_auth #3
 2010/11/16 16:36:19| Open FD UNSTARTED 16 squid_kerb_auth #4 etc etc
up to 120

That would say to me that all the helpers have started.. Am I doing
something wrong?

Thanks,

Nick
