Well. it's about the only condition where Squid gives the above error
message without any further explanation before.. A local firewall on the
box, blocking traffic over the loopback interface (127.0.0.1).

Could also be that the loopback interface is not properly configured
with address 127.0.0.1.

What the error message means to say is

"WARNING: Failed to open IPC channel for running
'/usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth'"

In 2.5 and earlier the IPC channel defaults to TCP/IP over 127.0.0.1 on
random high ports.

In 2.6 it defaults to use unnamed UNIX domain sockets, eleminating the
firewall problem and a few other system specific issues (FreeBSD jail
where loopback != 127.0.0.1, etc..)
