Now on a client machine proxy for user1 works but not user2.
You can not use MD5 with squid NCSA authentication. If you check by command line, you will get ERR as response for this.
The ncsa_auth from the squid-3 distribution does support MD5 hashed passwords. This helper also works fine with Squid-2.5 even if not included in the Squid-2.5 distribution.
ncsa_auth from Squid-2.5 or earlier only supports the old crypt hash.
