Given that squid can descend all the directories, yes. However. going back
over previous emails, there's something that doesn't make sense. You say
that when given a "-k reconfigure" your squid gets the open error and
dies. Squid then restarts and works fine. Squid uses the same code to
access the config file whether reconfiguring or starting up. It can't fail
in one instance and then work immediately after, or at least it shouldn't.

What happens if squid.conf is owner, group = squid, squid?
