I type in the console:

squid -z

and receive back the reply

FATAL: getpwnam failed to find userid for effective user 'nobody'

I'm logged in with administrators membership with environment
variables:

USER   = guyw
UID    = 1000
EUID   = 1000

and the listing from mkpasswd -l -g:

guyw::1000:513:Guy Worthington,S-1-5-21-789336058-1580436667-1708537768-1000:/home/guyw:/bin/sh

Can someone please help me identify myself?
