[squid-users] NCSA(BASIC) AUTHENTICATION IN SQUID 2.5 STABLE 1

I HAVE DOWNLOADED SQUID 2.5 STABLE 1, COMPILED AND RUN IT WITH
NCSA(HELPER) ENABLED, ON REDHAT LINUX 8.0.

WHEN EVER I TRY TO GIVE USERNAME AND PASSWORD ON THE BROWSER, THE
FOLLOWING MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE SQUID SERVER AND CACHE DENIED MESSAGE
APPEARS.

=====================================================================
2003/01/13 14:39:17| WARNING: basicauthenticator #1 (FD 7) exited
2003/01/13 14:39:23| WARNING: basicauthenticator #2 (FD 8) exited
2003/01/13 14:39:34| WARNING: basicauthenticator #3 (FD 9) exited
2003/01/13 14:39:42| WARNING: basicauthenticator #4 (FD 10) exited
=====================================================================

PLEASE LET ME KNOW, WHERE EXACTLY I AM GOING WRONG, AND WHY NCSA
AUTHENTICATION IS NOT WORKING

I AM INCLUDING THE SQUID MESSAGE FOR YOUR KIND REFERENCE

AN EARLY REPLY WILL BE APPRECIATED
