Squid not starting from rc in Jail, however works when run from root as command??

[Kaya Saman]

Hi guys,

I've just built a new BSD server running on a Mini-ITX NAS chassis and 
it's working beautifully :-)

I also took the time to learn how to build jails too as this is only my 
second BSD build so am still really new to it although not to UNIX as I 
use Solaris and Linux frequently.

Anyhow I'm trying to migrate config which was on an old SPARC server 
running Solaris 9 with a version of Squid got from the Blastwave repos 
and currently I'm having major issues with it.

Basically I think I've worked through to figure out that running as user 
Squid or Proxy doesn't give me access to ports <1024, basically the 
'well known' ports.

Here is the error message I get from Squid when trying to start it using 
the rc.d file:

May 31 17:47:11 proxy squid[4360]: Cannot open HTTP Port
May 31 17:47:11 proxy squid[4358]: Squid Parent: child process 4360

May 31 17:47:21 proxy squid[4358]: Squid Parent: child process 4370

If however I start Squid using /usr/local/sbin/squid -NCd1 as root I get 
this and Squid works:

Running uname -a gives me this:

FreeBSD Zeta-Ray.optiplex-networks.com 8.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE 
#0: Sat Nov 21 15:02:08 UTC 2009     
root at mason.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

and also Squid was built from ports too!!

Because I built the system in a Jail I am using this syntax to bind the 
port to the IP address:

http_port 192.168.1.110:80 accel defaultsite=domain.com vhost

When I mean Jail I am talking about FreeBDS Jails and not chroot syntax :-)

Can anybody offer me any advice or anywhere else to turn as I really 
don't know what's going on????

Many thanks!
