[squid-users] Anonymous Authentication

Squid 2.5.STABLE5

I'm needing to grant authority to an anonymous user account which is not
authenticated through the domain and does not have a password associated
with it. Basically it's a dummy terminal without a login, but needs to get
to specific corporate sites only.

I currently have squid configured through samba for the domain
authentication and have several domain users authenticating through it.

squid.conf
auth_param ntlm program /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=
squid-2.5-ntlmssp
auth_param basic program /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=
squid-2.5-basic
auth_param basic children 15
auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hour
auth_param ntlm children 15

##This section was added for the anonymous user
auth_param basic program /usr/sbin/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/passwd
auth_param basic children 15
auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server
auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours

I set up the passwd file using 'httpasswd2 /etc/squid/passwd ANON000' and
created the user list and defined the acl:

acl acl_name ident "/dir/to/userlist"
and
http_access allow acl_name

In the /var/log/squid/cache.log I'm seeing "ANON000 failed due to [No such
user]"

I understand what will need to take place to handle the specific only
sites. My question is how can I get the anonymous user to authenticate?
