RE: cache_effective_user

Hello Maciej, thanks a lot for your response to my question. I have another
question that I hope you can answer. For cache_dir in squid.conf I have
/var/spool/squid. I followed your instructions but I still got an error
about permission denied for /var/log/squid.

Should I also change the ownership of this directory and its files to
"nobody?" Of course I am testing these things as we speak, but I am
concerned with doing it the proper way.

Thank you.
