Re: [Q] Can I install and run squid as a root?

Yes you can, but if you were to read the FAQ or the configuration
examples, you would see how you specify to squid what UID/GID you would
like the daemon & various programs to be run as. This effectively
changes the user in which squid is running on your sysetm and eliminates
the "root" scare.
