2003/05/26 11:04:24| Creating Swap Directories

I have looked on the FAQ
to create the swap directories on your filesystem. If you have set the
cache_effective_user option, then the Squid process takes on the given
userid before making the directories. If the cache_dir directory (e.g.
/var/spool/cache) does not exist, and the Squid userid does not have
permission to create it, then you will get the ``permission denied'' error.
This can be simply fixed by manually creating the cache directory.
        # mkdir /var/spool/cache
        # chown <userid> <groupid> /var/spool/cache
        # squid -z

I dont know what userid or groupid to use can anyone help with this
