Hmmm ok....
Well I did add some debugging to my custom auth perl script via syslog...
It never receives anything from squid to authenticate, and that's what debug tells me.... $_ is always empty as far as my script goes. This is definately something with my squid config that is not on par...

These lines look ok: auth_param basic program /usr/local/libexec/squid/my_auth auth_param basic children 25 auth_param basic realm Proxy Authentication auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours auth_param basic casesensitive off
Perhaps the word "authenticated" is a reserved word in Squid? acl authenticated proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow authenticated
Just a thought. When using authentication, I think you may not need the following lines:
acl local src x.x.x.x/y
http_access allow local
No errors when you manually restart squid from the commandline? Dietrich
