squid-users:
I'd like to configure authentication of NCSA for Squid-2.5 server on Redhat 5.2 platform. But I failed. I can't find what is wrong.
I have done as the followings:
1. Configure command:
$configure --prefix=/usr/local/squid-2.59 --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl-0.9.7c --enable-ssl --enable-dlmalloc --enable-gnuregex --enable-kill-parent-hack --enable-time-hack --enable-dl-malloc --enable-async-io --enable-storeio=ufs,null --enable-err-languages="Simplify_Chinese" --enable-default-err-languages="Simplify_Chinese" --enable-linux-netfilter --enable-underscore --enable-auth="basic" --enable-basic-auth-helpers="NCSA"
$make
#make install
2 Edit squid.conf:
...
auth_param basic program /usr/local/squid-2.59/libexec/ncsa_auth "/usr/local/squid-2.59/etc/passwd"
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours
acl password proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow password
# And finally deny all other access to this proxy
http_access deny all
...
#ls -l /usr/local/squid-2.59/libexec/ncsa_auth
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 46205 Apr 27 10:07 /usr/local/squid-2.59/libexec/ncsa_auth
3 Debug output:

Would you please give me some advice where I set wrong ?
Many thanks.
