standard port for squid, makes squid listen on port 3128 of all available
interfaces.
If that's your local machine, localhost (3128) is one of those and if you
want to stop others from accessing it, you can configure

http_port localhost:3128

it's possible that squid was compiled without unlinkd support. In such case,
you don't need that directive.

we can guess that unlinkd lives in /media/knoppix/squid3/4.15/sbin/unlinkd 
or somewhere under /media/knoppix/squid3/4.15 directory
