my question is do we need to create the user account "squid" manually or is it automatically created upon installation.
If you compiled Squid from sources, you need to create the squid user manually. If you installed a pre-built Squid package, the package may create the squid user automatically. This is package-dependent, of course.

Hello,
The account created by a pre-build package may be locked or configured unsuitable for interactive use - depends on the maintainer.

I have never seen a message like this, what kind of Unix is this squid running at?
What you can do to track the problem down:
check if an account exists: #id squid check account config: #grep squid /etc/passwd or #getent passwd squid check password entry: #grep squid /etc/shadow or #getent shadow squid
