Hi Thanks, problem solved!!! The version of squid (2.5) does not use authenticate_program but uses auth_param instead. It's now working. Regards Bill

However, no child processes start when squid is started.
You should ensure that the version of squid you're running has been compiled with:
--enable-auth-basic-helpers=MYSQL
If you're sure it is (check the documentation), please post your /etc/squid/squid.conf file, and /var/log/squid/error.log (you'l have to tell squid to generate that from within /etc/squid/squid.conf). Restarting squid wouls be the best way to ensure this.
