Good!
I'm running a school server with squid 2.7 and have interest in showing always a "Splash Screen" on start a http browser with information regarding
our school.
I was looking at this item:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Portal/Splash#Outline, but i'm really stuck with the "Squid Helpers" and how to generating the "session.db" knowing the server dont use any user authentication program, since it's free
to use.

session != authentication

The match/no-match ACL result is based on whether a session existed *prior* to the test. It is simply a test "have I seen you before? yes/no", the no's get a splash page.

What you are looking for is the passive mode splash screen. Simply testing the ACL with the helper in passive mode creates or updates a session.
