[BusyBox] change userid failed

[Michael Gerecke]

Hi list,

 

I am working on a linux router with squid proxy.

I use the busybox (1.00-pre5) base system and squid (2.5stable4), both
static build.

 

When squid starts I get the message:

 

# FATAL: getpwnam failed to find userid for effective user 'squid'

# Squid Cache (Version 2.5.STABLE4): Terminated abnormally.

# CPU Usage: 0.040 seconds = 0.040 user + 0.000 sys

# Maximum Resident Size: 0 KB

# Page faults with physical i/o: 295

# Aborted

 

Maybe a config file is broken or a system command is left, but I do not
think so.

 

My system looks like this:

 

# /bin

# .    busybox  dmesg  hostname  iplink    kill  more   ping  sh     su
uname

# ..   cat      echo   hush      iproute   lash  mount  pwd   sleep
sync  watch

# ash  date     false  ip        iptunnel  ls    msh    rm    stty
true

 

# /etc/group

# root:x:0:

# squid:x:65534:

 

# /etc/passwd

# root:x:0:0:root::

# squid:x:31:65534:squid:/usr/share/squid:/bin/false

 

# /sbin

# .  ..  init  logread  route  syslogd  watchdog

 

# /usr/sbin

# .   [       clear  free  hostid  killall  mesg    nslookup  reset  tty

# ..  arping  env    head  id      logger   mkfifo  openvt    test
uptime

 

# /usr/sbin

# .  ..  httpd  iptables  squid

 

# /etc/squid.conf

# [...

# cache_effective_user squid

# cache_effective_group squid

# .]

 

I do not know much about linux user handling, so hopefully someone can
help me.

 

Thanks.
