Give proxy_auth users access.

You probably have something like

http_access allow mysubnet
http_access deny all

What you need to do is:
1. Select a authentication program. See the directory auth_modules for
two examples (NCSA style htpasswd authentication or SMB authentication
for Windows domains)
2. Create a password list, or find another method of validating the
users password.
3. Configure your squid to use the selected authentication module.
4. make a new proxy_auth acl that maches your authenticated users.
5. Control access based on this new acl.
