Which Squid?

[David Groos]

Thanks Gavin.  I just checked ownership of /var/spool/squid/ and found that
it was proxy. proxy.  I then checked and while there is a user named 'squid'
there is none called 'proxy'.  Likewise there was only a group called,
'squid', none named, 'proxy'.  Does that matter?  Here are the precise
permissions for the folder /var/spool/:

root at gcos1:/var/spool# ls -l
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 root        root        4096 2008-09-22 16:49 anacron
drwxr-xr-x 5 daemon      daemon      4096 2008-09-22 16:12 cron
drwx--x--- 3 root        lp          4096 2009-03-07 22:11 cups
drwxr-xr-x 4 root        root        4096 2008-10-20 13:10 cups-pdf
drwxr-x--- 5 Debian-exim Debian-exim 4096 2008-12-28 19:34 exim4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root        root           7 2008-09-22 15:55 mail -> ../mail
drwxr-xr-x 3 root        root        4096 2008-09-22 16:11 openoffice
drwxr-x--- 2 proxy       proxy       4096 2009-03-08 16:26 squid
root at gcos1:/var/spool#

Any thoughts?
