I have the famous FATAL: getpwnam failed to find userid for effective user 'squidc' problem. The target system has a statically linked BusyBox and mot much else. It does NOT have full gcc libraries. It is a very minimal system. To fix the problem, I added the following files to the system: /etc/nsswitch.conf # containing the line: passwd: files /lib/libnss_files.2.3.2.so /lib/libnss_files.so.2 # symbolic link to above squid was built with a matching compiler/glibc such that the libnss_files it is looking for should be .so.2. It still doesn't work. Any idea how one goes about debugging this sort of thing? --Chris
