Hmmm... How do I make sure the file is executable for the cache_effective_user? The cache_effective_user is set to the default, 'squid', user. I can't "su" to this user as it is a non-login account. I change the owner and group, however, of the file to 'squid' and I assume that this will allow the Squid process access to the file. Are my assumptions incorrect? Thanks!
