[squid-users] password required in squid

thanks Nate
it worked, it asked for a password before I can browse the net but my
problem is I dont have any passwd file I only copied it in /etc/passwd and
put it in squid directory and chmod 777. is it right to do that or can
someone give me a sample/format of passwd used by squid

regards,
Toto

I haven't done this before but my suggestion is to look at the
http_access directives in squid.conf

# TAG: http_access
# Allowing or Denying access based on defined access lists
#
# Access to the HTTP port:
# http_access allow|deny [!]aclname ...
#
# Access to the ICP port:
# icp_access allow|deny [!]aclname ...

try

http_access allow password

and remove the other http_access rules, the main one is probably
http_access allow all

(don't remove it, just comment it out)

be sure to restart squid..
