I have been told it is due to the login.conf setting being too low. Looking through the login.conf file there is no entry for nobody or nogroup which is squid default for its cache_effective_user. I presume I have to put in an entry. My question is shoud cache_effective_user be left as nobody/nogroup and a login.conf entry put in, or should squid be run as some other user like daemon, to suit FreeBSD? Keep in mind that the machine is only used as a proxy server with no other user access. - Ernie.
