I run squid as squid:squid and http as www:www with no problems. I don't understand what's the point of this discussion. Since we stablished that running as nobody is not a good thing, we should be discussing what to replace it with. I vote to creating uid:gid for all appropriate services: mail or smtp www squid and use that.
