Odhiambo, Thanks for your reply.

I just got my previous config file I had, which was working, and tweak it to my new settings. I did read the manual though (see URL below), for every directive, and that's where I got those wrong lines. I guess it's outdated (I have Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE11). http://squid.visolve.com/squid/squid24s1/externals.htm#authenticate_program > Try this: > auth_param basic program /usr/local/libexec/ncsa_auth /usr/local/etc/squid/passwd > auth_param basic children 5 > uth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server > auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours > Read the sample squid.conf to know what those optionw will do. Ok, squid loaded ok now. But when I try to surf the web with the new proxy settings, it doesn't work. It times out. It doesn't even ask for my login/password. I don't know what's the problem now. I thought it maybe was my firewall, but I added this rule before running squid (I'm running squid on port 9876). # ipfw list | grep 9876 01300 allow tcp from any to me 9876 Any idea? :) > cd /usr/ports/www/squid > make config && make install Yeah, those were the lines I used to install squid. The lines I previously quoted I just tried to reinstall ncsa_auth. It's all good now anyway. :) Regards, Francisco
