Here is something funny going on...
If I cut & paste a password from the system passwd file to the squid
password file then it works... So I watched if there was a difference
between the password generated by htpassword and from the system passwd
file. And there is a difference between them! Every password in the
system passwd file beginns with "$1$", those generated by htpasswd does
not.
So I cannot use htpasswd to generate the passwords for ncsa_auth but I
do not quite understand why...
BTW, I am running FreeBSD 2.2.8. (AND if there are exceptions to the
use of htpasswd for ncsa_auth, shouldn't that be in the FAQ?)
One last thing: if I have a scenario where I have a couple of networks
that will access my proxy without a username/password and then if
someone outside these networks .i.e a non-authorized site tries to
access squid they must provide a username/password; so I finish my list
of http_access lines with "http_access allow all passwd" instead of
"http_access deny all", is that the way to do it?

We get ours just by extracting the first two fields of the passwd file,
but that's the same thing, I think.
Your setting for 'authenticate_program' is something like...
authenticate_program /opt/squid/bin/ncsa_auth /opt/squid/etc/htpasswd
Have you tested it manually?
suws3% /opt/squid/bin/ncsa_auth /opt/squid/etc/htpasswd
username password
OK
username invpass
ERR
unknown anything
ERR
Give it a try... check the ncsa_auth program is running when you start
Squid.
