[squid-users] Urgent Help with starting Squid

Hi,

As new to Linux i am still having a bit of trouble with Squid.

If i log on as root Squid works fine. If i log on as Admin (I created this)
Squid will not run at all. In the squid.conf file i have Squid set to look
at "squid" for the id and group, not the default "nobody".

In the Linux shell i have done the following, as per instructions given.

chown -R squid.squid /usr/local/squid
chmod g+s /usr/local/squid /usr/local/squid/src

I had already created the User and Group called "squid" prior to the above.
I have added the group "squid" to the Admin User.

Can anyone help? I am new at Linux and get the impression that it's best not
to run the box at "root" level day to day.

Regards,

Greg
