Hell Gurus

this time i have solved the prblm through squid.conf file
Infact synatx has been changed in the newer versions of sqid, but the squids docs are old, according to the sqid doc i did right, but infact the syntax is not correct for the newer/latest versions of squid

now i should right it as

auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /tmp/passwd

and its working.

Thanks n Regards
Maaz
