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

Thu Jun 23 13:19:39 UTC 2016

OK Eliezer, thanks a lot....I will disable IPv6 and compile Squid3 again
disabling ICMP (pinger) also because I don't need these features at all.

Alejandro
