Re: [cobalt-users] using the same passwords for everything

[Josh Kuperman <josh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The partial answer to this is that I need to use PAM modules. Cobalt
servers come with a mod_auth_pam_external that allows a web site to
validate users agains their passwd. There is also a module for Squid
but I'm not sure how to configure it. In theory I should just be able
to add a squid entry in /etc/pam.d, but I would love to know if anyone
has done this - since for all I know I'm the only RaQ XTR user who
built his own squid. I may have to ask on the Squid list anyhow.

Here is a sample from a test .htaccess file. 
Deny from all
AuthName "Just a test"
AuthType Basic
AuthAuthoritative off
AuthPAM_Enabled on
Satisfy Any

<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
Satisfy any
</Limit>
