It is a the limit of NCSA style password files using the plain old crypt() hash, not a limit if HTTP authentication. I have imported MD5 hash support in the ncsa_auth helper shipped with Squid-3. The MD5 hash does not have this limitation of 8 characters. Please give the new helper a try if you are interested. Note: the ncsa_auth helper from squid-3 also works with Squid-2.5. -- Donations welcome if you consider my Free Squid support helpful. https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=hno%40squid-cache.org If you need commercial Squid support or cost effective Squid or firewall appliances please refer to MARA Systems AB, Sweden http://www.marasystems.com/, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
