Subject: Debian, mrtg and squid
To properly install squid with snmp support in a non Debian enviroment
one is supposed to use --enable-snmp option when installing from source
but if apt-get is used how can I tell if that was part of the
installation? Is that the problem?

Another item that is part of the install by source but I can not locate
it when installed by apt-get is cachemgr.cgi which is supposed to
provide a web page with how the cache is doing for the squid server.
