[squid-users] LDAP authentication?

        I apologize for what might be a FAQ, but I can't find the details
that I need in order to know what I'm doing. :)

        I have a perfectly functioning squid-2.5/DansGuardian/FreeBSD based
transparent proxy running at the public school district that I work
in. What I'd like to do is know who is accessing each URL. Users
come from different IPs all the time. Therefore, I think that this
requires authentication, which in turn requires a switch from
transparent to manual proxying. What I can't figure out is how to
set up this authentication with the LDAP server that I'm already
running. Its a MacOS X Server 10.4 system, if that helps at all.

        I found this article in the past:

http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20041207040115940&query=squid

        The problem is that I could never get "pam_auth" to work when
invoked from the command line. So I'm pretty sure that something
wasn't done right, but I don't know what. I realize that the article
is written as if I was compiling squid on OSX and I'm using FreeBSD,
so I tried to make some "course corrections" as I went. I may have
screwed those up.

        Any ideas? Is this article even harder than I need?

                                                        Thanks in advance,
