[squid-users] pam_auth and failure to authenticate

I have pam_auth working under 2.4 and am trying to move to 2.5; however
I am having a few problems

My basic config file is as follows:

auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
acl xpassword proxy_auth REQUIRED
acl all src 0.0.0.0
acl xpassword proxy_auth
http_access allow xpassword
http_access deny all

I have tried running pam_auth as root and it works.

It is also setuid.
ll /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth
-rwxr-xr-t 1 root root 9832 Oct 17 09:39
/usr/lib/squid/pam_auth

If I execute pam_auth as root I get an OK

If I execute it as a normal user I get an error. I think this is the
reason that my authentication is not working. :-)

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be?

Kind regards
Xander
