Thank you for your help.

In the meantime I assume that the SuSE distributed and precompiled
version of squid is compiled with no authentication options. So
I downloaded squid 2.5 (squid-2.5.STABLE1.tar.gz) from
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.5/ yesterday.

I tried to compile it, but got an error message after invoking
make all ->

pam_auth.c:65:31: security/pam_appl.h: No such file or directory

I searched for it ... and the system is right: It is not there.

Question: Is squid delivered without this file? Where to get that one?

By the way: Is it more recommended to download

"most recent code committed to the SQUID_2_5 branch" ?
