If you know some minimal amount of C or Perl programming you can stick
with the dbm file for authentication. Squid uses separate authentication
modules for verifying passwords, and a DBM module is about 10 lines of
code (don't know why anyone hasn't done one already..).

But with as little as 100 users using NCSA auth is simpler. Exporting
the DBM file to NCSA style might be as simple as "dbmmanage users.dbm
view >users.ncsa", "/usr/lib/yp/makedbm -u users.dbm | sed '-es/ /:/'
>users.ncsa" or a equivalent command line using Netscape DBM tools.
