Assuming its possible, how do I link ACLs in SQUID to the login at a win98 machine. ie different control for different users?

I don't think you can get "identd" information from your w98 machines, but if you could, then Squid has an acl based on "ident", so you would enter something like

You can get an identd (which uses the logged in username) for Windows 9X (and ME, NT, 2000).

it for you) then this is off.

We use ip numbers - our DHCP hands out fixed ip numbers and we authorise different things depending on ip number. About half our connections seem to be from services that provide ident information (you can see the names in the squid log files. If you can't, you haven't got ident).

Alternativly there is the authenticate_program option... -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763

I'd be very interested to hear where from :) I can't remember exactly where it came from. The file is called ident3d.exe and also requires cygwin1.dll to be present. Dates from mid 1998 -- Mark Evans St. Peter's CofE High School Phone: +44 1392 204764 X109 Fax: +44 1392 204763

Thanks for some of the advice Since posting have been doing some web searching along the lines of +identd +win98 +squid or +samba Have found several methods using an identd program to place on the win machines but quite a lot of complaints about crashes. Have also seen stuff in the squid docs about using Samba to authenticate squid but haven't

Identd only identifies. This is helpful so that the squid logs show up usernames not machine names or IP addresses depending on your DNS/DHCP settings. What you really need is samba + winbind + pam + an access group in squid. We are working at this but still haven't fully cracked it. You can use samba plus pam for NT but it's a bit of a fudge. The trouble is that winbind is still fairly bleeding edge. ----- Original Message ----- From: James & Cybèle To: Schools List Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 8:10 PM Subject: Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] password access through squid from win98 tried

this yet. Would appreciate from more details about the method below from Mike Rees.

We use an identd program in Win 95 and 98 that can be run as a service and in *silent* mode. The original download URL is broken but you can get a copy from http://linnea.tucows.com/files5/identd15.zip. The zip file includes documentation.

Hope this helps.
