Indeed. Some people also told me that, but the only different thing is the message saying that "User <name_of_the_user> cannot log in". What can I do? > Squid does not log the password component of the requested URL. I checked on that. You´re right, sorry about that. But the FTP still opens as read-only. Any ideas?
