I am trying to configure a proxy server on my _standalone_ box running
Debian with two users. The objective is to prevent access to certain
objectionable sites.

For this I have chosen Squid & Opera, and both are configured to the
extent possible. The relevant portion of squid.conf is given at the end.

In Opera, I have enabled HTTP, 'localhost' and Port 3128 as advised by
squid (File->preferences->network->proxy servers).

The problem is, Opera is unable to open any website, complaining about
'access denied'.

I am unable to configure the squid.conf for allowing access to the two 
users ('kghosh' and 'kanad', hostname is 'gkps')in the standalone box.

Can experienced users help please ?
