I need help how to setup squid to authenticate using pam.

I am new to squid. I am using Redhat 6.2 and squid 2.3. I would like to
limit access through squid-cache by authenticating the users through there
account password already on the local server (on the same machine).

I have tried to add the following lines to my squid.conf:
-------------------------------------
authenticate_program pam_auth shadow
authenticate_children 10
authenticate_ttl 3600
authenticate_ip_ttl 0
acl password proxy_auth REQUIRED
acl user1 src 10.30.0.5/255.255.255.255
http:_access allow user1 password
--------------------------------------
This doesnt work. Where am I going wrong??
