Thanks Amos. I have it figured out now, but I can't say I understand
it all though.

Hello all,
I am a squid newbie, but have searched the documentation almost
thoroughly, but can't find answer to this specific question.
You have been seeking the wrong thing. What you need to be reading
the documentation for is knowledge. Understanding how the access
controls in Squid work is far more useful than a simple few lines of
config.
The worst 'it wont work' complaints we get here are people cut-n-
pasting perfectly working examples into the wrong places of their
squid.conf because they did not understand it.
To explain this. The solution you are looking for is:
acl someUser src 10.1.2.3
http_access allow someUser
Now, does that help with you using it? no.
To figure out where to place it requires understanding of what you
already have in your squid.conf and what other network policies are
altered by it.
We can easily say "place it before your authentication access
controls". Which perfectly and clearly describes where it goes. But
again, you need to understand what and where those authentication
control themselves are.
I have a Squid server (3.0-48) running. I would like one of the
clients
"-48" ? wow! Somebody has done a LOT of custom patching. I'm only up
to 3.0.25 on the official releases of that series.
Where did this package come from?
(either IP address or name will work) be able to go out to the wide
NP: name will not work. Name is retrieved by doing authentication,
which you said needs to be omitted.
world without authentication through this Squid server through a
regex whitelist like *, but all other clients be required to
authenticate, except for those sites that are in a different
restricted whitelisted URLs.
I am sure many out there has this setup, but just can't find it in
the documentation.
The knowledge you need begins here:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidAcl#Common_Mistakes
when you understand that re-read your squid.conf http_access rules
and my texts at the top of this email.
