Hey I figured out the problem. I was copying directly from my Google Docs spreadsheet INTO putty and not realizing that when i do that it copies Google's character codes (not actual text for some of the letters). This created the problem in the first place, so when I went to type in the usernames and passwords lol none of them matched. Hurr durr! Thanks to all of you trying to help me tho. Looks like i shot myself in the foot on that. e On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 12:14 PM, Chris Robertson <crobertson@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Amos Jeffries wrote: >> >> Eric Valencia wrote: >>> >>> Ok, to reexplain, here is what i did. >>> >>> I got a vps, got a bunch of ips from my host, had them assigned to my >>> vps, and I put centos 5.2 minimal i386 on it. >>> >>> I install squid (squid-3.0.STABLE13). >>> >>> I set up my squid.conf like this (examples only not actual ips, and >>> only essential parts shown/yes, ncsa auth) >>> >>> acl username1 proxy_auth username1 >>> acl username2 proxy_auth username2 >>> >>> tcp_outgoing_address 77.242.48.151 username1 >> >> send traffic from 77.242.48.151 when username1 making the request. >> >>> tcp_outgoing_address 77.242.48.152 username2 >> >> send traffic from 77.242.48.152 when username2 making the request. >> >> >> Picks first IP assigned on default interface when anyone other than >> username1 and username2 are making the request (if allowed). >> >> >>> >>> http_access allow username1 >>> http_access allow username2 >> >> Assuming thats all... >> Implicit deny for anyone not username1 or username2. >> >>> >>> After this I :qw to get out of vi and back to the regular ssh part. >>> >>> I then htpasswd -c /etc/squid/squid_passwd username1 >>> >>> (-c is to create the password file) >>> >>> Then I add additional users like this (since there's a bunch, I end up >>> at like username81): >>> htpasswd /etc/squid/squid_passwd username2 >>> >>> Finally, I restart squid and NORMALLY it works fine.
