OK -- this looks fine. It should cycle the log files overnight.
Presumably you first setup the cycling of the squid logfiles yesterday
and your post was prompted by the logs not being recycled last night?
(Yes, that's insultingly obvious, but worth eliminating as a possibility.=

No, syslogd doesn't /need/ to be running, but newsyslog assumes that a
logfile is generated by syslogd unless configured otherwise -- ie. to
signal the pid of a different process. You'll get errors like you've
seen if syslogd isn't running, but they should be innocuous.
Mind you, not running syslogd is a pretty unusual management decision;
I'd turn it on if I were you, as it's the first recourse whenever
anything goes wrong.
Cheers,
Matthew
