Hi all, I am trying to write a custom script which in part will use ncsa_auth as an authentication method. What I do know is that if I run "/usr/local/squid/libexec/ncsa_auth /usr/local/squid/etc/password_file" and then an actual username and password from the password file (from the command prompt), I can test to see if the username and password are correct. Could anyone shed some light as to whether I can use the info given in the authentication box and use that as input for ncsa_auth in a script. My scripting knowledge is not too great and nor my understanding of the intricacies of squid itself. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Regards Paolo Biancolli
