We are using Squid-2.5.STABLE7 with latest paches, I just want to know if enabling NCSA-authentication will burden Squid to much? because as of now, Im not planning to upgrade to STABLE9. Using NCSA authentication, Initially I can Input all the username and password of our client to htpasswd, the question is, Is there a way for a microsoft windows client that is accessing the internet but cannot access the Squid box directly to change there own password? regards, wennie ----- Original Message ----- From: "squidrunner team" <squidrunner_dev@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Wennie V.
