Put this in squid.conf: # authenticate_program example authenticate_program /squid/bin/pam_auth /squid/etc/passwd Then go to $SQUID-HOME/$SQUID-VERSION/auth_modules/PAM and make, and make install (Doublecheck the exact string for squid.conf.) In PAM: make install in squid might create /etc/pam.d/squid. If so, edit it. :) If not, create it. You will want at least: account required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so auth required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so session required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so pam_unix uses the standard Unix and shadow password databases.
