Dear Henrik: Thanks for the reply.I tried fixing the uid/gid and the authenticator processed no longer crashed. However, squid never seemed to be using them to do the authentication. The ACL and http_access parts of my configuration file are ported from the old config which actually worked. These parts of the config file are largely identical to the default one, except for the one ACL of "proxy_auth" and the corresponding http_access entry. The result is that squid never really authenticate a user matching the proxy_auth ACL. If one surfs the web via my cache, he gets an "Access Denied" error page from squid, and there are no prompt for entering username and password before the error page is delivered. I tried the PAM authenticator and the result was similar. I guess I'll have to downgrade to 2.6 and do some comparisons to find out the problem.
If you would care to share the ACL and http_access lists we may be able to help.
I'd also advise going up to stable 4+ as there are a number of small bugs that have been found and fixed since stable 2.
Amos -- Please use Squid 2.6.STABLE20 or 3.0.STABLE5
