On what format?
The NCSA helper expects a password file on the format
username:crypthashedpassword
The NCSA helper in Squid-3 also supports MD5hashed passwords (both
Linux PAM and Apache style).

Some people prefer to have the proxy use another user database
available in their network such as a LDAP server, NT Domain, Novell
NDS or whatever user directory they use.

See the helpers directory.
If you are running the RedHat Squid RPM then the NCSA helper should
already be installed in /usr/libexec/squid/.
