cache_effective_user

Here's a problem with Squid Version 2.1.PATCH2

At boot time I want to start /etc/rc3.d/S40squid (on a Solaris 7
machine). I gives me a message:

Don't run Squid as root, set 'cache_effective_user'!

But that's what I've defined in squid.conf:

$grep cache_effective_user squid.conf
# TAG: cache_effective_user
#cache_effective_user nobody
cache_effective_user squid
$

I want to use a port lower than 1024, so I have to start squid as root.

Any help would be appreciated.
