I installed ubuntu server as "u-admin" account. I have set the directive:  
cache_effective_user to "squidadmin". However my squid process keep on running 
as b-admin account. And my cache_effective user never comes into play.
 
As per a guide which described that squid will only shift to the defined user 
if it is run as root but i am unable to start it as root. I logged in as root 
by sudo -s (running it as root) and tried to start the squid but the 
permissions were denied. For the same reason i guess my startup scripts kept on 
failing.
 
I have created the squidadmin account as nologin noshell for security purposes 
and feel tht squid process should be run with this account. Please guide am i 
thinking right?
 
 
 
 
please help me out.
 
regards,
