Not necessarily. Looking at the service file for squid shows, inter
alia:
[Service]
Type=notify
PIDFile=/run/squid.pid
Group=proxy
RuntimeDirectory=squid
RuntimeDirectoryMode=0775
ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/squid --foreground -z
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/squid --foreground -sYC
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
KillMode=mixed
NotifyAccess=all
That suggests tha you want to run as user root, group squid. Indeed:
root@issola:~# ps aux | grep -i squid
root 2217 0.0 0.2 66372 17516 ? Ss Nov26 0:00 /usr/sbin/squid --foreground -sYC
proxy 2220 0.0 0.2 71824 23064 ? S Nov26 1:53 (squid-1) --kid squid-1 --foreground -sYC
proxy 2244 0.0 0.0 5644 1168 ? S Nov26 0:00 (logfile-daemon) /var/log/squid/access.log
root 285132 0.0 0.0 6332 2120 pts/1 S+ 11:46 0:00 grep --colour=auto -i squid
root@issola:~#
--
Does anybody read signatures any more?
