sir, Im now trying to setup squid authentication in fedora 3. My squid was running ok, after i have configured its authentication, the problem is the username and password were not accepting on the login box. After that the error was: ERROR Cache Access Denied -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While trying to retrieve the URL: http://chikka.com/ The following error was encountered: Cache Access Denied. Sorry, you are not currently allowed to request: http://chikka.com/from this cache until you have authenticated yourself. You need to use Netscape version 2.0 or greater, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, or an HTTP/1.1 compliant browser for this to work. Please contact the cache administrator if you have difficulties authenticating yourself or change your default password. It seems the ncsa_auth were not functioning. Sir, is there any mistake that i have made? Can u give me a sample config file to be followed? Thanks, Adam
