I installed ubuntu server as "u-admin" account. I have set the directive: cache_effective_user to "squidadmin". However my squid process keep on running as b-admin account. And my cache_effective user never comes into play. As per a guide which described that squid will only shift to the defined user if it is run as root but i am unable to start it as root. I logged in as root by sudo -s (running it as root) and tried to start the squid but the permissions were denied. For the same reason i guess my startup scripts kept on failing. I have created the squidadmin account as nologin noshell for security purposes and feel tht squid process should be run with this account. Please guide am i thinking right? please help me out. regards, _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.
