[plug] Another (Possibly) Redhat specific squid tip

Just noticed that my user "nobody" was disabled from a default redhat
5.1 install... while this is good from a security perspective, it meant
that when squid was trying to use user nobody as per the squid.conf
line:

cache_effective_user nobody nobody

it wasn't having a lot of luck... so I enabled the nobody user, and gave
it a password for security reasons, and squid now seems to be running a
heap faster!...
