Subject: [squid-users] NCSA auth

hello,
        I want to use NCSA based auth with IP of machines.
I am using now only IP for acl as follows :

acl abc src 192.168.0.1
http_access allow abc

I want to add say username and password also for auth
using NCSA.

I believe I need to add the following line in squid.conf

authenticate_program /usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth
/usr/local/squid/etc/passwd

I am not sure exactly where to add the above line.

Futher I need to create the file passwd in

/usr/local/squid/etc/

Howto add username and password to the file passwd?

What should I add to my present acl in squid.conf to add
NCSA auth with username and password ?

Thanks in advance

Varun
