RE: Squid not running as configured

Hi.

Your cache_effective_group should generally be nogroup..

Subject: Squid not running as configured

greetings:

After I installed 'squid' and set the 'cache_effective_user and
cache_effective_group' both to nobody. Squid starts up ok and the logs
show no errors but when I do a 'ps' command I see 3 processes. One
process says 'nobody' as the user but the process command it says its
running is '(unlinked)'. The other 2 processes seem to be squid parent and
child BUT running as 'root'.

Is there an explanation for this?

Thanks Jim
