I run squid as squid:squid and http as www:www with no
problems. I don't understand what's the point of this discussion.
Since we stablished that running as nobody is not a good thing,
we should be discussing what to replace it with.
I vote to creating uid:gid for all appropriate services:
mail or smtp
www
squid
and use that.
