[squid-users] Running Squid fully as root

[reinerotto]

The problem is the external ACL-helper, started by squid. It runs as "nobody"
actually, but it needs to start a special program, which must run as root. 
FYI, openwrt is a shrinked-down LINUX, for embedded systems with limited
resources, without any user besides the admin. 
openwrt often is used for smart routers, for example. Practically all
processes run as root.
