Re: [squid-users] Proxy authorization failed.

This is not correct use of Squid pam_auth. The program do not take any
arguments, and you must have a "squid" PAM service configured

See the pam_auth man page, and your PAM administrators guide.

Latest version of squid pam_auth and it's documentation can always be
found at:

   http://devel.squid-cache.org/hno/software.html#PAM

Or in the Squid HEAD version.

Generally it is strongly recommendable to use ncsa_auth for Squid
authentcaiton based on a local password file. You should not have proxy
users in the system password file.
