Re: [squid-users] ncsa_auth credentials issue SOLVED

Amos,

Thanks for your reply. I have solved my issue and i feel really stupid
now.
I did a clean install of my server with freebsd 9. I installed Squid
3.1.18 which was an update from previous version i was using on freebsd
8 (3.1.15). I took my old config files and installed it in my freshly
installed box. I never realized that somehow the configuration line in
squid for ncsa_auth was missing the complete path to "passwd"

Basically the passwd was missing at the end. I added the full path and
not it is working like a charm.

My apologies for wasting everybody's time. Now, I will crawl back under
my rock and make myself as small as possible :)=20

auth_param basic program /usr/local/libexec/squid/ncsa_auth
/usr/local/etc/squid/passwd

Thank you for this great piece of software to all. This has been the
most helpful software i have ever used and kept on using to have a
better and safer internet.

Regards,

zongo
