Or you could use -W instead of -w, which lets you put the password in a
file
(readable only by the user Squid runs as). This prevents the password
from
showing on the command line (visible through ps).

Also, you don't need to pipe the username and password - you can run
the
helper first, then type "username password" on the command line and
press
Enter.
