Re: Problems under Red Hat 5.0?

Try using a different group and user for squid (like bin or daemon). I
recall that there are some problems with user/group -1 (65535) under
some operating systems. Or you can change nobody to uid 65534 and
nogroup to 65534.

I believe that 65535 means 'No change', which is not the behaviour
intended for that uid/gid.

Did you read the documentation AND the FAQ?
If not, I'll probably still answer your question, but my patience will
be limited, and you take the risk of sarcasm and ridicule.
