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,

Two questions:
Did you install squid via apt, or did you compile from source?
Can you paste your squidamdin line from /etc/passwd?
