[squid-users] PID file /var/run/squid.pid not readable AND Supervising process XXX which is not our child

[Eliezer Croitoru]

It was hard for me to understand the diff\patch without the original file in plain text.
< GuessMainPID=no
< RemainAfterExit=no
< PIDFile=/var/run/squid.pid
< SuccessExitStatus=5 6
< ExecStart=/etc/init.d/squid start
< ExecStop=/etc/init.d/squid stop
< ExecReload=/etc/init.d/squid reload

The above now makes more sense but.. replacing the service file and removing the /etc/init.d/squid file should be the real way to run squid.
I do not know if and when Debian Stable would upgrade their package but as long as you don't upgrade it automatically it would be suffice.

Current Debian stable. It is not shipped exactly, but generates on
install from the init.d file inserv headers in the absence of a shipped
.service.
