Hi there, I wouldn't like to use pam_auth but a file passwd in which I have all my users (including myself w/ different password of my that I use to log in my system. I've read a doc about getpwnam_auth. So, I've change the following line of my squid.conf: auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/getpwnam_auth
and created the users w/ : htpasswd passwor my_user then typed the password as well for each user. Using pam_auth I can do that w/ no problems. But I would like to understand a way to concetrate all users just in one file (in my case /etc/squid/passwd). The logon screen has showed me up but I can't login on my proxy using the users I typed into the file "/etc/squid/passwd". Can somebody help me to fix it?
