Hello...

I've just installed squid (latest) on my RH 7.2 box. I use NCSA_AUTH
for proxy_auth. I created user with:

htpasswd -cd /etc/squid/.squidpasswd username

Then the user could be authenticated and access the Internet with
success. However, for some hours ago, the user couldn't be
authenticated with his created username and password, unless I issued
the above command again.

I have to do this everyday.

Please help me.

Any solution would be greatly appreciated.

David

htpasswd -cd /etc/squid/.squidpasswd username
>>>>

Why are you trying to create new file for every user there. We can maintain 
user informations in a common passwd file as like /etc/passwd there. General
ly passwd files are created as,

 /usr/local/squid/bin/passwd 

Try to use method as,

 htpasswd -d /usr/local/squid/bin/passwd <username>

We can check NCSA authentication module on command line as,

 /path to squid libexec/ncsa_auth
 <username> <passwd>
 OK

 <username> <passwd>
 ERR

 OK  -- indicates you have entered correct one
 ERR -- indicated wrong one there.


Then configure this on squid.conf file.

HTH.
