I hope to have the user do all this from a shell batch file. I want them to be able to restart squid after they have changed a config file. I have created a group localadmins and added the user to the group localadmins I then chown :localadmins squid and now the group localadmins own squid. When I log on as this user and try to restart squid it fails I have fooled around with permissions even assigned 777 to squid with no luck. Any suggestions would be helpfull I have searched the archives and man group. What am I missing?
