There's a set of latest patches to beta 7 already on the web site. They
fix this problem. You'll also need to uncomment the SNMP lines in the
makefile, and fix a #define problem if you use Solaris 2.5.1 (maybe
others).

From squid.conf for 1.2:

# TAG: cache_effective_user
# TAG: cache_effective_group
# If the cache is run as root, it will change its effective/real
# UID/GID to the UID/GID specified below. The default is not to
# change UID/GID.
#
cache_effective_user squid
cache_effective_group squid

You should read through the squid.conf.default file if you are going to
use 1.2. A number of new and changed options exist.

Setup the icon_directory in squid.conf for 1.2 (usually to
<squid>/etc/icons)
