NAME

       ext_file_userip_acl - Restrict users to certain IP addresses, using a text file backend.

       Version 1.0

SYNOPSIS

       ext_file_userip_acl [-dh] [-f file name ]

DESCRIPTION

       ext_file_userip_acl is an installed binary. An external helper for the Squid external acl scheme.

       It works by reading a pair composed by an IP address and an username on STDIN and matching it against a configuration file.

OPTIONS

       -d	   Write debug info to stderr.

       -f file	   Configuration file to load.

       -h	   Display the binary help and command line syntax info using stderr.

CONFIGURATION

       The squid.conf configuration for the external ACL should be:
	      external_acl_type type-name %SRC %LOGIN /path/to/ext_file_userip_acl -f /path/to/config.file

       If the helper program finds a matching username/ip in the configuration file, it returns OK , otherwise it returns ERR .

       The configuration file format is as follows:
	      ip_addr[/netmask]   username|@group|ALL|NONE

       Where ip_addr is a dotted quad format IP address, the netmask must be in dotted quad format too.

       When the second parameter is prefixed with an @ , the program will lookup the /etc/group file entry for the specified username.

       There are other two directives, ALL and NONE , which mean
