[squid-users] Problems With Authentication

Hello there!
 I'm new to squid-cache and am having some problems using authentication.

Before I go further I figure it would be helpful for you to know my
configuration

OS : Fedora Core
Squid Version : squid-2.6.STABLE3
Authentication Module : mysql_auth-0.8.

configured with : ./configure --enable-ssl
Install location : /usr/local/squid/
MySQL Auth : /usr/local/squid/libexec

Added the following to Squid.conf

        auth_param basic realm Private Access
        auth_param basic program /usr/local/squid/libexec/mysql_auth
        auth_param basic credentialsttl 5
        auth_param basic children 5

        acl sip src ***.***.***.***
        acl MyPeople proxy_auth REQUIRED

        http_access allow sip MyPeople

When I run this with the obvious IP address replaced with real numbers I get

2006/09/04 21:48:12| WARNING: No units on 'auth_param basic
credentialsttl 5', assuming 5.000000 second
Aborted (core dumped)

However, if I comment out like this and run it the program starts fine
without a problem

        #auth_param basic realm Private Access
        #auth_param basic program /usr/local/squid/libexec/mysql_auth
        #auth_param basic credentialsttl 5
        #auth_param basic children 5

        acl sip src ***.***.***.***
        #acl MyPeople proxy_auth REQUIRED

        http_access allow MyPeople

The file core.10180 was created in /usr/local/squid/var/cache/

When I use GDB : GDB -c core.10180

I get the following response:

Core was generated by `./squid -N -f /usr/local/squid/etc/squidAuth.conf'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.
#0 0x006877a2 in ?? ()

I have also tried making my own simple reader in PERL to simply return
"OK" as a hard-coded value on STDOUT

auth_param basic program /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/squid/libexec/perlAuth.cgi

Which does not work either and generates the same type of error.

Any suggestions from the listserv?

Thanks in advance
