Your squid syntax is invalid. -a requires a port number.

I have the same problem. NAV update 2/13/02 rev 6 reports that
the cygz.dll file succumbs to the Backdoor.EggHead virus. I'm
using OpenSSH_3.0.2p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL

Is this a valid issue? Is there a workaround, like backing out
