I've had RADIUS authentication working in the past, it's relatively
easy, you just need to compile up squid_radius_auth.

This was done using squid_radius_auth-106.tgz, it looks like 1.07 is out
now, available at:

http://www.squid-cache.org/contrib/squid_radius_auth/squid_radius_auth-1.07.tgz

squid.conf contains:

auth_param basic program /usr/local/squid25/libexec/squid_rad_auth
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm Restricted Access
auth_param basic credentialsttl 1 hours

/usr/local/squid25/etc/squid_rad_auth.conf contains:

server 192.168.1.1
secret sharedsecret

With 1.06 I had to change a hardcoded path in conf.h - SQUID_RAD_CONF
for the location of the configuration file - you may have to do this for
1.07, I'm not sure though.

Combine the with the usual squid ACLs and you should be OK.

HTH,
