> The documentation of `proxy.config.admin.user_id`, e.g. at 
>     http://trafficserver.readthedocs.org/en/latest/reference/configuration/records.config.en.html#proxy-config-admin-user-id
> doesn't contain any statement on restrictions for valid effective users, except that root is forbidden if not bypassed. They must exist because specifying a user the same entry in `/etc/passwd` like `nobody` except a uid and gid differing by 1 causes requests to be rejected after `bin/trafficserver restart`. 
> The consequence of {{--with-group}} and {{--with-user}} of {{configure}} should be mentioned as well, as well if there's none.
