Squid configuration

[BrunoM]

Installed Squid and got everything running on the bares. made a acl rule to allow only internal domains to access the proxy, however a auth type login would come more handy (since i don't want -all- of the computers in the domain to access it, and since there are some wildly given ip's, i cannot add a specific rule). How can i accomplish this, if it can be accomplished?

Also, to avoid double posting, how can i get Squid to run every time my machine boots?

There are so many sites which provide squid configuration and other things. Search google and go to some sites of squid.

You need to add it to the runlevel you normally boot into. I dont know which distro you are using, but they all come with runlevel or service level editors. The one for Fedora Core is called:

system-config-services

reading the squid docs says that a 3rd "party" program is needed to enable auth-type management. aye, compiled, and got it working. However for soem reason he's not validating the passwords. These are the exact same from the passwd file, so i'm not sure where did i **** up.

aye, thanks! Am running slackware, figured it out how to do it.

Slackware: just put the daemon in the /etc/rc.d directory and add the command to rc.local - but I figure you already discovered that by now .
