[squid-users] cache initialization problem

I keep getting this error:

/usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -f /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf -z

2003/08/27 17:07:59| Squid is not safe to run as root! If you must
2003/08/27 17:07:59| start Squid as root, then you must configure
2003/08/27 17:07:59| it to run as a non-priveledged user with the
2003/08/27 17:07:59| 'cache_effective_user' option in the config file.
FATAL: Don't run Squid as root, set 'cache_effective_user'!
Squid Cache (Version 2.5.STABLE3): Terminated abnormally.
CPU Usage: 0.006 seconds = 0.006 user + 0.000 sys

I have set
cache_effective_user squid
cache_effective_group squid
