RE: [squid-users] ssl_crtd reporting certificate database as uninitialized

So I found that the server comes up and stays up if I run:

sudo -u squid /usr/sbin/squid -f /etc/squid/squid.conf

or as root:

/usr/sbin/squid -f /etc/squid/squid.conf

# /usr/sbin/squid -f /etc/squid/squid.conf
# ps -ef | grep squid
root 30358 1 0 17:20 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/squid -f
/etc/squid/squid.conf
squid 30360 30358 0 17:20 ? 00:00:00 (squid-1) -f
/etc/squid/squid.conf
squid 30361 30360 0 17:20 ? 00:00:00 (ssl_crtd) -d -s
/var/squid/ssl_db -M 4MB -b 4096
squid 30362 30360 0 17:20 ? 00:00:00 (ssl_crtd) -d -s
/var/squid/ssl_db -M 4MB -b 4096
squid 30363 30360 0 17:20 ? 00:00:00 (ssl_crtd) -d -s
/var/squid/ssl_db -M 4MB -b 4096
squid 30364 30360 0 17:20 ? 00:00:00 (ssl_crtd) -d -s
/var/squid/ssl_db -M 4MB -b 4096
squid 30365 30360 0 17:20 ? 00:00:00 (ssl_crtd) -d -s
/var/squid/ssl_db -M 4MB -b 4096
squid 30366 30360 0 17:20 ? 00:00:00 (logfile-daemon)
/var/log/squid/access.log
root 30368 29619 0 17:20 pts/0 00:00:00 grep squid

So it appears the UID is not properly switching when running as root from
startup?
