I installed the rpm for 2.0-4 found at contrib.redhat.com to upgrade
squid from the distribution that came with my redhat 5.2 disk. I edited
/etc/squid/squid.conf and inserted the proper values.
The problem I am having is that squid will not start at boot up, it says
do not run as root. I have .conf file set to run squid as user:squid
group:squid, and also have tried user:nobody group:nogroup (the way I
had version 1 running). I looked in the user listing and the rpm did
create a user named squid with a group of squid, but squid still refuses
to run during the boot up process complaining about being ran as root.
If I log in as myself and then run "squid &" everything works great.
Here is where I have set the values in my squid.conf file to make squid
run as a user other than root.
cache_effective_user squid
cache_effective_group squid
