Maybe you should install webmin and webmin-squid that way you can check out all the options available in squid..including authenication ...settig up squid through webmin is really easy...you could also authenicate per mac address...

Have a look at the authentication instructions at http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/pam_auth.8.html
and http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq...Authentication

Hi,

You can use a modular ncsa_auth which is comes with squid tarbal it is not coming with default instalation i.e rpm. you can download squid tar bll from squid-cache web site. and commpile that tar ball then you can configure your squid as a authentication base proxy.

Best of Luck.

Thanks & regards.

Better you can make use of WEBMIN in which lot of things can be handled with ease.
But can you tell me how should in config squid to other systems & making this system as a proxy server.
