[KLUG Members] Squid

[Richard Zimmerman]

Look for the following in your squid.conf file:

cache_effective_user
cache_effective_group

<example>
cache_effective_user proxy
cache_effective_group proxy
</example>

change them to what you want. Create user/group as necessary.

Also, you HAVE to change the owner/group of your squid cache directory 
to match what you set the above to or squid WILL NOT work!

<example>
cache_dir aufs /squid 600 16 256
</example>

<example command>
chown -R proxy.proxy  /squid
</example command>


Hopes this helps...
