well i've kinda got it working ... this is my script so far

/usr/bin/clear

echo "
***********************************************************************************
**************************Setup squid.conf File************************************
***********************************************************************************"
echo ""

A=/etc/squid/squid.conf
echo "Enter the path to the squid.conf file:"
printf "default path is = $A: "
read A
if [ "$A" = "" ]; then
A=/etc/squid/squid.conf
fi
echo ""

B=/usr/lib/squid/pam_auth
echo "Enter the path to the squid.conf file:"
printf "default path is = $B: "
read B
if [ "$B" = "" ]; then
B=/usr/lib/squid/pam_auth
fi
echo ""

a=$(grep -m1 -n "#Recommended minimum configuration:" < $A | cut -d: -f1)
sed -i ''$a's/#Recommended minimum configuration:/\
#Recommended minimum configuration:\
#Added by Server Setup Script\
auth_param basic program\
$B\
acl pam proxy_auth REQUIRED\
http_access allow pam\
#Added by Server Setup Script/' $A

and the problem now is in my /etc/squid/squid.conf file this comes out

#Added by Server Setup Script
auth_param basic program
$B
acl pam proxy_auth REQUIRED
http_access allow pam
#Added by Server Setup Script

it doesn't seam to output the variable, '/usr/lib/squid/pam_auth' can someone tell me how to do that?

try adding spaces on the lines after the back-slash eg,

Code:

auth_param basic program\
$B\
acl pam proxy_auth REQUIRED\

is read as:

Code:

auth_param basic program$Bacl pam proxy_auth REQUIRED

but

Code:

(space)auth_param basic program\
(space) $B\
(space) acl pam proxy_auth REQUIRED\

is read as:

Code:

auth_param basic program ; $B ; acl pam proxy_auth REQUIRED ;
