[squid-users] Simple authentication on a home-based (ie no domain controller) WinXP box

Hi Gang, I need to set up a squid for the purpose of letting my friend visit sites anonymously. I downloaded the WinXP port of Squid from Acme Consulting and have Squid set up adequately to run as a proxy server, but I also want to slap on some authentication so that only my friend can proxy through my machine. Ideally I would store a username/password pair in a text file somewhere on my system (plaintext or not, doesn't matter), but the authentication helpers that I see in my distro (mswin_auth, mswin_negotiate_auth, mswin_ntlm_auth) don't come with enough documentation to tell me which one is the right one to try. Does anyone know how I can set up a simple user/pwd authentication scheme on a WinXP box, and doesn't require a windows domain, NCSA, NTLM, or any other buzzword? Thanks in advance, Jeff ____________________________________________________________________________________ Building a website is a piece of cake. Yahoo!
