No its always been commented out. AFAIK squid had a default setting and
this wasn't required. I will try using it anyway though.

Yeah I tried this and it authenticated fine, or at least it returned OK

Thanks for the help, I think I am going to try upgrading to the latest
version of squid because I have a version 2.5STABLE3 running on another
