You need to write a new helper that implements the TACACS+ protocol.
Squid passes the helper the username and password, and then the helper
returns OK or ERR. Have a look at the existing helpers, something like
PAM or LDAP are probably close to what tacacs needs - in that the don't
preload a file but rather make each request as needed.
