I realize this should be a simple thing, but I am new to squid.  I am
using the RPM that comes with redhat 9.  I setup NCSA authentication and
I am getting a login and password prompt from the browser when I hit the
proxy, but it does not authenticate (I did create a passwd file using
htpasswd) I thought is was configured correctly until I saw "Too few
Basic Authenicator processes are running" when I do tail -f
/var/log/messages while I am trying to log in.  Is this a clear
indication of a problem?
Hello David,

Increase this value in your squid.conf file:

authenticate_children

(for example: 5 or 10)
