I have found a flood of info about ncsa_auth but I cannot find anyone having the same issue that i am. I am new at this thing so please be patient if I sound like a retard. =) I am running SLES 9 fully patched and up to date Squid Stable 2.5 (installed via rpm package included with system) I got squid up and running just fine using some basic ACL's for diff parts of our network. Now I am asked to add the "authentication" into the system I am trying for the NCSA_AUTH and this is where I stand: I have created password files using htpasswd with each type of encryption that it offers (htpasswd -c (tried all encrypts and plain) passwd jimbo) prompts for a password, type it in etc. finishes with no apparent issues. I then run the check (ncsa_auth passwd) takes me down a line, then type in the username (jimbo) it returns err every freakin' time no matter what kind of encryption it uses, HSA, plain, md5 etc.
I think that ncsa_auth expects both the username AND password on the same line. The email at http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200501/0279.html would lead me to greater confidence in this.
I hope someone can tell me what I am screwing up here because this is driving up a wall. Thanks to all, Jim
