Option Name:

chroot

Suggested Config:


Details:

Specifies a directory where Squid should do a chroot() while
initializing.  This also causes Squid to fully drop root
privileges after initializing.  This means, for example, if you
use a HTTP port less than 1024 and try to reconfigure, you may
get an error saying that Squid can not open the port.
