[squid-users] Squid Doubts

People: I tam using squid 2.6 in my freeBSD-6.1 machine , as http
accelerator on port :80

I edited my start up script (/usr/loca/etc/rc.d/squid) for
squid-user as root ,//because its not starting as user "squid" for
port 80. :

Q1 : is editing startup script to change user as " root" okay ?

I have a few questions below this : Let me ask your comments on those
 questions

whenever I am doing a sockstat -4p 80 I am getting

max # sockstat -4p 80
USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS
www httpd 1394 3 tcp4 127.0.0.1:80 *:*
squid squid 1392 9 tcp4 2xx.1xx.2xx.xxx:80 63.42.21.53:39234
squid squid 1392 11 tcp4 2xx.1xx.2xx.xxx:80 *:*
squid squid 1392 14 tcp4 2xx.1xx.2xx.xxx:80 243.109.215.18:52561

squid squid 1392 16 tcp4 127.0.0.1:58926 127.0.0.1:80
squid squid 1392 17 tcp4 2xx.1xx.2xx.xxx:80 209.131.41.48:23788
www httpd 503 3 tcp4 127.0.0.1:80 *:*
www httpd 503 22 tcp4 127.0.0.1:80 127.0.0.1:58926
www httpd 502 3 tcp4 127.0.0.1:80 *:*
www httpd 501 3 tcp4 127.0.0.1:80 *:*
root httpd 495 3 tcp4 127.0.0.1:80 *:*
max#

here squid shows
    squid squid 1392 16 tcp4 127.0.0.1:58926 127.0.0.1:80

Q 2: why the port number 58926 here? it should be 80 right?

Q 3 : How can I check the foreign addresses connected to port :80 are
spammers OR not ?

Q: 4 if they are spammers how to deny them?

Q :5 this is my squid folder but it not showing any cache dirs why?

max# cd /usr/local/squid/
max# ls
cache logs
max# cd cache/
max# ls
none squid.core
max#

Thanks in advance
