Hi, since a longer period of time I try to merge PAM and squid but without success. Always a window opens and asking for username and password and after that it invites me to do it again because there was something wrong. Is there something wrong in my configuration files? SuSE Linux 8.0, 2.4.18-4GB file squid.conf: authenticate_program /usr/sbin/pam_auth <passwd file> authenticate_children 5 ... acl checkpw proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow checkpw all ... redirect_program /usr/sbin/squidGuard redirect_children 5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- /usr/sbin/pam_auth mit 7755 <passwd> file with pairs username passwd ---------------------------------------------------------------------- /etc/pam.d file squid generated, content: #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_unix.so account required /lib/security/pam_unix.so With this configuration there is no error message to find in /var/log/messages. By the way: How to generate a passwd file from /etc/shadow. Or better is there a chance to use the standard /etc/passwd respectively /etc/shadow for authorizing? How to adjust it? Thank you for your help in advance!! -- Rgds. _ # Michael # _
