just a hunch

if you're using pretty recent distros, one that uses shadow suite, do this
as root

chown root.root /usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth
chmod 755 /usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth
chmod u+s /usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth

then on squid.conf, change 

authenticate_program /usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth /etc/passwd

to 

authenticate_program /usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth /etc/shadow
