[squid-users] Can't seem to get Squid 2.4 configured for use with basic authentication

Hello,

I am trying to configure Squid 2.4stable7 on Mandrake Linux 9.0 for
use with proxy authentication. I want to use the ncsa_auth module. I
believe I have configured the options (so far as I understand them)
correctly. However, when I set the proxy in my web browser to point to
the squid installation on the server, I always get an access denied
message. It never prompts me for my username and password. Any
suggestions on what to change to make this work? I am posting the
relevant lines of my squid.conf:

authenticate_program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwd
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
acl manager proto cache_object
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
acl SSL_ports port 443 563
acl Safe_ports port 80 # http
acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp
acl Safe_ports port 443 563 # https, snews
acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher
acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais
acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports
acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt
acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http
acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker
acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http
acl CONNECT method CONNECT
acl validated proxy_auth REQUIRED
acl allowed_hosts src 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
http_access allow validated
http_access allow allowed_hosts

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
Sincerely,
