Subject: Bug #1401: $HOME not set when started as root
X-Git-Tag: SQUID_3_0_PRE4~589
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=08ac5ea724a97eaa2663e11968381b02197e5919;p=thirdparty%2Fsquid.git

Bug #1401: $HOME not set when started as root

some helpers may depend on $HOME being set to something sane, which is
not always the case when Squid is started as root. This patch sets $HOME
to the home of cache_effective_user.

Forward port of 2.5 patch.
