Sorry, there is no such syntax in squid.conf.. cachemgr_password only
sets the password, not who may access the function.

To limit which web servers cachemgr.cgi may be run from you limit
access to the cache_object protocol in http_access. The default
squid.conf has rules which limits this to localhost only.

Protection on who may run cachemgr.cgi has to be done in the web
server. This can not be done in squid.conf.

If you do not set any cachemgr_passwd then any password is accepted
(including a blank password) and only the actions not marked with a
* in the description of cachemgr_passwd is available.

Henrik
