Re: [squid-users] PAM again

Depends on what you refer to by "system users".

The system needs to know about these users, but they do not need to
be allowed to use any other service than Squid.

PAM is a system for plugging in different password verification
mechanisms into the system logon process.

If you don't want the system to know about these users at all, then
don't use PAM and instead use a direct Squid integration with the
password database in question.

Note: There exists a RADIUS helper to Squid. See "Related software".
