[squid-users] outdated FAQ ?

I am not an expert, and just today tried to install squid.
My best bet for documentation is, the oficial website http://www.squid-cache.org.

So, I just grabbed the latest stable release 2.5STABLE1 and printed the FAQ :

   http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-3.html

I found some information there which were NOT up to date.

Like:

" Squid version 2.X
  First, you must create the swap directories. Do this by running Squid with the -z option:

        % /usr/local/squid/bin/squid -z "

Actually it's not that simple, because the directory should be owned by the user who run squid,
from the DEFAULT squid.conf, it should be nobody:nobody.

And, the squid binary is NOT there, it's in /usr/local/squid/sbin/
                                                             ^^^^^

How can I trust the FAQ ? Or anyone sugested not to read it? instead throwing questions here? :D

Well, maybe this is NOT a big deal, you can say "linux system (or squid) is NOT for newbies".

But anyway, maybe the maintainers do not have enough time to update?

I am not complaining, but take this as information, just to make linux software better :)

Regards,
me
