External auth program.

I am having a problem with students who don't want to be held accountable for what they do. Since we have limited bandwidth, I want to use some form of authentication, and delay pools so that the piggy users are reigned in.

Using password based authentication is not effective. They just get a friend's password and carry on. Since some kids don't use the internet much, there is an active black market in internet passwords.

I have written a proof of principal perl program that initially prompts the user to create three questions that he will know the answer to. From that point on, it will ask one of the questions so that he can prove who he is, and will ask him to create a new question and answer for his account. Answers have to be unique over the student body. (Once one person has used "green" as an answer, no one else can use green.)

Unless the student creates a crib sheet for his friends, loaning an account is impractical.

I can't figure out how to tie this into squid. Is it even possible, or do I have to tie it into pf instead? (Both squid and pf run on Openbsd.) Pointers appreciated.
