I cannot get the unix group helper to work. I added the following lines to squid.conf:
external_acl_type unix_group %LOGIN /usr/lib/squid/squid_unix_group -p acl full_access external unix_group web http_access allow full_access When I try to browse from a client, it does not prompt me for a username or password, and goes directly to a page that says: error cache access denied you are not currently allowed to request ... until you have authenticated yourself. The access.log just logs a "denied" message. There are 5 squid_unix_group processes running. No errors in syslog. The user exists and is in the group. What else am I missing? I am running the squid package from Debian (sarge), version 2.5.STABLE4.

Can you use unix /etc/group ? Yes, there is a UNIX group helper as well (unix_group) > Or would setting up an ldap server on the same box as squid be better? Using a directory service for user account is generally recommended, but it obviously depends on your environment. Regards Henrik
