would you please be more detail? I don't know how to
run squid as root accept by changing
cache_effective_user and cache_effective_group to
"root". But with this setting, squid will crash after
started.

My system is;
Fedora core 6 64bit
Kernel-2.6.18.5
cttproxy-2.6.18-2.0.5
iptables-1.3.6

both kernel and iptables is working, there are tproxy
modules on the kernel when doing lsmod and iptables
with tproxy also able to redirect the traffic.

Thanks!

regards,
Zul
