Was fixed in 1.0.9 (uploaded to master a couple of days ago). 1.0.10 is
underway. It runs as proxy/proxy.

Bug#4334: squid should not run as root by default

1996-08-29 Thread Marek Michalkiewicz
Package: squid
Version: 1.0.beta16-1

In the default configuration, squid runs as root.  While it can be
changed in the config file, someone might forget to configure it
after installation, so I think the default should be secure.  The
permissions/ownerships in /var/squid and /var/log/squid should be
changed accordingly.  I think squid should ideally run under its
own allocated UID/GID.
