cache_effective_user

When cache_effective_user and cache_effective_group are set to "nobody" (or
any other user for that matter), is it necessary to change the ownership of
all the files and directories associated with Squid as well?
For example:
1. chown nobody:nobody /usr/sbin/squid
2. chown nobody:nobody /etc/squid/
3. chown nobody:nobody /etc/squid/*
4. chown nobody:nobody /var/log/squid
5. chown nobody:nobody /var/spool/squid
6. chmod 747 /var/run

The reason for this question is that I get "permission denied" errors
whenever I try to run squid as root, and the ownership of all my squid
related files are not set to the user and group specified in
cache_effective_user and cache_effective_group.

Any ideas or hints are appreciated.
