RE: getpwnam failed to find userid for effective user 'nobody'

["Robert Collins" <robert dot collins at itdomain dot com dot au>]

Hi Guy, 
	Squid is shipped with some defaults in squid.conf, that _will
not work_. There is no sensible default for those settings. The warnings
you are getting back are due to those settings not being set by you. See
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-11.html#ss11.44 for the 'official
reference'.

You are identified - but because you are root, squid is trying to find
the user it should change to, and you haven't added nobody to your
/etc/passwd.

Also, www.squid-cache.org is a very good resource for squid, with full
online manual and a comprehensive FAQ.
