Re: [squid-users] User Authentication

I have downloaded ip_user and compiled it on my
RH9 machine. I am runnig squid2.5.s1
I have created the configuration files according to
the readme file provided in the downloaded.

My entries in squid include

external_acl_type srcip %SRC %LOGIN /etc/squid/ip_user_check -f /usr/etc/example.conf
acl mynet external srcip
http_access allow mynet
http_access deny all

my example.conf includes
0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 NONE
10.0.0.6 ALL

when I try accessing any site it gives me with

ERROR:Cache Access Denied

Sorry, you are not currently allowed to request:

    http://www.hotmail.com/

from this cache until you have authenticated yourself.

I dont know what a seems to be the problem. I have gone
through the configuration files but find nothing.
Am I missing something? Please help.
