Cheers for the responses guys! Christoph: Yeah, my browsers pointing in the correct place. I had a look at the 'ps' command, is that for process threads? I added the 'f' switch as it sound cool, which turned up a main instance of squid with a child, the child also had its own child, which in turn had about ten to fifteen children. I moved on to try "/usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/proxy_users", fumbled with it for a while, then click with it! It's validating the passwords fine. > <cough> ;) lol, it's hard coded into the exchange, sorry. Ghislain: Cheers, I've ran a test to see if IPCop configures squid. From it's GUI I can change the proxy port, this changed the squid port in the squid.conf, I assume it makes the necessary adjustments to the IPTables, I shall learn how to read these then verify this. Jakob: Hi, Squid was installed and configured during the IPCop install. I am now going through the install to lock down its configuration. All paths given are correct and all files exist. Proxy_users is a file with "USER_NAME:MD5_ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD" per user, per line. Shall I post the config's? I have one which works and another that tries to use authentication and produces the aforementioned error.
