Re: [squid-users] PAM-AUTH with passwd/shadow

/etc/pam.d/squid:

   auth required /lib/security/pam_pwd.so shadow nullok
   account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so

/usr/local/bin/pam_auth must be SUID root
   chown root /usr/local/bin/pam_auth
   chmod u+s /usr/local/bin/pam_auth

And if you have other users on this machine, you better make sure only
Squid is allowed to execute pam_auth. This can be done by putting
pam_auth in a directory where only the user Squid runs as has
permissions..
