Probably Squid 2.0 then if the comments for proxy_auth says it specifies
the TTL and not which usernames the ACL matches.

That is why I recommend cleaning squid.conf from documentation when you
have made your configuration, and only have comments describing why you
have configured Squid in a certain way.

When you upgrade Squid only squid.conf.default gets upgraded to not
overwrite your active configuration, so after one upgrade (in some cases
even a patch release STABLEn -> STABLEn+1) your squid.conf is mostly
useless for documentation and you should see squid.conf.default instead.
Several people have been confused by this and mistakenly beleived that
the comments in their old squid.conf is current for the version they are
running.
