I have decided that I need squid to authenticate before users can use it.
I have read page 435 in then manual (suse 8.2) and it refers to authenticate_program/usr/sbin/pam_auth but that doesn't appear to exist in squid.conf
That is only used if the server is authenticating
it suggests using acl password proxy_auth REQUIRED
(now there is a proxu_auth section in squid conf - is that the option I require?)
However using this line gives an error as it appears not to recognise it as "no authenication schemes are fully configured"
can anyone point me in the right direction - or tell me exactly what to uncomment or add in squid.conf
Well, Alan, I would be inclined to have "inetd" running, and have an ACL in squid that has a list of users who are banned. If one of those users from that lists attempts to make a request, then shunt them to a 404 page or whatever. If you need instructions on how to do that, let me know.
