[squid-users] Remote squidclient

I have the MacPort of Squid running on a Mac Mini. Works great. But I
don't want to tax it with all of the reporting stuff (Apache, RRDTool,
etc.). I want to run those on an existing web server. I read in Duane
Wessel's book (page 288) that "If you have additional trusted hosts, you
may want to add them to the access rules also.", which I did in
squid.conf...

acl manager proto cache_object
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
acl mgrhost src 170.158.132.7/255.255.255.255
http_access allow manager mgrhost
http_access allow manager localhost
http_access deny manager

But when I run a squidclient request from the 132.7 host...

squidclient cache_object://squide.liverpool.k12.ny.us/info

I get the error...
client: ERROR: Cannot connect to localhost:3128: Connection refused

The subnet that contains the 132.7 host is in the list of allowed subnets
in squid.conf. I can't think of anything else that might be stopping it.
Is this type of operation not allowed, and if not, how can I get the Squid
stats from a remote machine?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.
