Squid configuration directive cache_effective_group

This directive is not available in the v8 version of Squid.

For older versions than v5 see the linked pages above


Option Name:	cache_effective_group
Replaces:
Requires:
Default Value:	Use system group memberships of the cache_effective_user account
Suggested Config:
Squid sets the GID to the effective user's default group ID (taken from the password file) and supplementary group list from the groups membership. If you want Squid to run with a specific GID regardless of the group memberships of the effective user then set this to the group (or GID) you want Squid to run as. When set all other group privileges of the effective user are ignored and only this GID is effective. If Squid is not started as root the user starting Squid MUST be member of the specified group. This option is not recommended by the Squid Team. Our preference is for administrators to configure a secure user account for squid with UID/GID matching system policies.
