Hi Nick!

No, it's not the case for the log dir.

Ok, a small squid installation can live with /var/squid/cache or
/var/cache/squid, it doesn't matter. If user wants to use squid extensively
he/she does the additional work manually. That's what I understood.

Just looked into ubuntu and centos - they use /var/spool/squid as a default
cache dir.

So as a conclusion I'd got rid of /var/squid/logs.
Cache is in /var/squid/cache and logs are in /var/log/squid like right now.
