[squid-users] Squid3: icmp_sock: (97) Address family not supported by protocol / pinger: Unable to start ICMPv6 pinger

[Alejandro Cabrera Obed]

Hi people, when I start squid3 service, I have these lines in the
/var/log/squid3/cache.log file:

2016/06/22 19:56:35 kid1| Pinger socket opened on FD 12
2016/06/22 19:56:35| pinger: Initialising ICMP pinger ...
2016/06/22 19:56:35| pinger: ICMP socket opened.
2016/06/22 19:56:35|  icmp_sock: (97) Address family not supported by
protocol
2016/06/22 19:56:35| pinger: Unable to start ICMPv6 pinger.

But after that the squid3 daemon runs OK.

My pinger file is:

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 18224 March 22 10:50 /usr/lib/squid3/pinger

I use Debian 8 and  squid3 3.4.8-6+deb8u2 (amd64), and I haven't disabled
the IPv6 protocol, no references in /etc/default/grub neither in systcl
asociated file.

What do the pinger relative lines mean??? Do I have to pay attention or
just forget them ??

Really thanks
