ncsa_auth as shipped with Squid-2.5 and ealier only understands NCSA style password files username:crypt_hashed_password It does not use the same format as /etc/shadow. NCSA style password files are created with the htpasswd command. Depending on version you may need to use a option to tell htpasswd to use the crypt hash (newer versions default to Apache style MD5). If you really really want to authenticate against /etc/shadow then see the PAM helper for Squid. Don't forget to read the manuals. Regards Henrik
