[squid-users] SQUID authentication via PAM

Hello.
I am trying to get squid to authenticate with
/etc/shadow via pam.

I have squid-2.3.STABLE4.tar.gz installed on
Solaris 7 sparc. I completed the steps below.
When I manually execute pam_auth my username
and password gets authenticated correctly against
/etc/shadow. However, when I try to authenticate
through squid, authentication fails.

Any hints would be greatly appreciated,

Kristina

--------------------------------------------
(1)　Edit squid.conf
% vi /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf
authenticate_program /usr/local/squid/bin/pam_auth

(2) Edit /etc/pam.conf
squid auth required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1 shadow nullok
squid account required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1

(3) Change permissions of pam_auth
% suid /usr/local/squid/bin/pam_auth
% chmod 7755 /usr/local/squid/bin/pam_auth
% ls -l /usr/local/squid/bin/pam_auth
-rwsr-sr-t 1 nobody nogroup pam_auth

(4) Test to see if pam_auth works
% /usr/local/squid/bin/pam_auth
username password
OK
