Hi all,
I am have written a very basic squid authenticator module. Code is as
follows:
#!/bin/sh
PASSWORDFILE="/usr/local/etc/squid/users.txt"
TEST="123"
while [ ! -z $TEST ]
do
read AUTH
if [ ! -z "`grep -x "$AUTH" $PASSWORDFILE`" ]; then
echo "OK"
else
echo "ERR"
fi
done
It all works fine and authenticates users from a plain text file
(/usr/local/etc/squid/users.txt) whose format is:
user password
user password
The only problem is that the authenicator module processes that squid
spawns don't get killed when squid is killed. It also seems to keep
opening many more authenicator module processes while it runs even
though I have limited it to 5 children in squid.conf.
Any suggestions? I'd really appreciate some direction.
Many thanks in advance......
