Configuration Details:

Option Name: chroot
Replaces:
Requires:
Default Value: none
Suggested Config:
Specifies a directory where Squid should do a chroot() while initializing. This also causes Squid to fully drop root privileges after initializing. This means, for example, if you use a HTTP port less than 1024 and try to reconfigure, you may get an error saying that Squid can not open the port.
