Well no, I don't think the squid config file needs to be world
readable. You might want to at least chgrp it to the "proxy" group
and give read access to the group so that squid can read the file
when you tell it to re-read it's config (I'm not sure if it is
running as "root" or as "proxy:proxy" at that time).

Well readable for the user that Junkbuster runs at, you could do
the same as I outlined above (give read-access to the group only)
