Re: [squid-users] Help w/ external_acl_type...

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!

Paolo
