Configuration , compiling , installing goes fine. Problem : 1. I am not able to authenticate my local users with pam_auth Yes, I have done chown root /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth chmod u+s /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth and restarted squid ,without any success 2. I wanted to recompile squid as the rpm packs I was using had the ident look up disabled. Am I missing something please do guide me. -- With Best Regards, Vishal Kashyap.
