You need to send squid SIGUSR1 (signal 30) to tell it to reopen its
logfiles.  Here's my line:

/usr/local/squid/logs/access.log nobody:wheel 644 7 40000  *  ZB /var/run/squid.pid 30

The B flag tells newsyslog not to put a "logfile turned over" entry at
the top of the file, since squid logs aren't in syslog format.
