$ squid


FATAL: getpwnam failed to find userid for effective user 'nobody'

I read this [1] which seems to say to me I can solve this by creating a
nobody account.
So I saw this [2] about how to do that in cygwin.

and I did created the nobody user
net user nobody /add
and probably added him to users.
net localgroup users nobody /add

or I created the user in windows and it automatically went into the
users group.

and 
seeing that $less /etc/passwd   and $less /etc/group   seem less up to

date,  than mkgroup -l -u  and mkpasswd -l   , I did
mkgroup -l >/etc/group
mkpasswd -l >/etc/passwd
I saw these commands mentioned once.

And then when trying to run squid, I got the similar error
FATAL: getgrnam failed to find groupid for effective group 'nogroup'

That is more-or-less what happened.  I am not sure what to do next to
get it working.  I don`t really know what I am doing!


I think you're doing alright.  Why not try creating the 'nogroup' group
and see if that moves the peg forward a bit?

2007-11-22 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I have had these errors when trying to run squid. in win xp.



$ squid


FATAL: getpwnam failed to find userid for effective user 'nobody'

I read this [1] which seems to say to me I can solve this by creating a
nobody account.
So I saw this [2] about how to do that in cygwin.

and I did created the nobody user
net user nobody /add
and probably added him to users.
net localgroup users nobody /add

or I created the user in windows and it automatically went into the
users group.

and 
seeing that $less /etc/passwd   and $less /etc/group   seem less up to
date,  than mkgroup -l -u  and mkpasswd -l   , I did
mkgroup -l >/etc/group
mkpasswd -l >/etc/passwd
I saw these commands mentioned once.

And then when trying to run squid, I got the similar error
FATAL: getgrnam failed to find groupid for effective group 'nogroup'

That is more-or-less what happened.  I am not sure what to do next to
get it working.  I don`t really know what I am doing!
