[SQU] acl password, any objections to this working method?

Hi,

I have a script that runs from cron that generates the file squid.passwd
from the master.passwd

authenticate_program /sbin/ncsa_auth /etc/squid.passwd
acl password proxy_auth 300

That is not the real location of the password file.

Are there any screaming security holes / objections here, it was done
since all staff / students wanted to have the same password as there
login password.

M.
