Odhiambo,

Thanks for your reply.

In fact, sorry, I'll admit I didn't read it. I just got my previous
config file I had, which was working, and tweak it to my new settings.
I did read the manual though (see URL below), for every directive, and
that's where I got those wrong lines. I guess it's outdated (I have
Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE11).

Ok, squid loaded ok now. But when I try to surf the web with the new
proxy settings, it doesn't work. It times out. It doesn't even ask for
my login/password.

I don't know what's the problem now. I thought it maybe was my
firewall, but I added this rule before running squid (I'm running
squid on port 9876).

# ipfw list | grep 9876
01300 allow tcp from any to me 9876

Any idea? :)

Yeah, those were the lines I used to install squid. The lines I
previously quoted I just tried to reinstall ncsa_auth. It's all good
now anyway. :)

Francisco
