htpasswd in apache by default creates crypt password hashes, these hashes can only hold 8 character passwords, anything more is simply discarded. you might be able to use md5 hashes instead of crypt, then you could have 128 char passwords (i think thats right) > is this a bug or can squid only handle 8 characters? i am not sure about squid specifically, but i think your problem is the hash your using to encode the passwords. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
