I'm not sure if it will ever be released at all. It's something I've made for
my own use but I'm willing to share it with you. It is not officially
supported
by me or any-one of the Squid-team (I'm not a member of the core Squid
development team by the way).
I'll mail it to you. My RADIUS authenticator works in a Linux environment.
Solaris has a few small problems (which I have fixed but I haven't found the
time to include them in the "distribution" source)

For squid-1.1.x that patch is required. Squid2.x has this build in. Squid
hands
the authentication over to external program. This program can look into a
password database, use RADIUS, SMB, or whatever method to verify a
user/password combination.

Not bad. RADIUS is a nice open standard for this kind of thing. There is
currently no official RADIUS authenticator available for Squid (as far as I
know). As soon as I find the time I'll run through the sources, documentation
etc and publish it officially. The problem is that this is a private project
and my employer doesn't like me spending time on this so it has to compete
with
the rest of my hobbies...
For now. I anyone mails me I'll send you a copy of my sources. They might have
some problems (let me know if you find any) but I can't give extensive
support.
