NAME
     ext_unix_group_acl - Squid UNIX Group ACL helper

SYNOPSIS
     ext_unix_group_acl [-d] [-g group ] [-g group  ...] [-p] [-s]

DESCRIPTION
     ext_unix_group_acl  allows  Squid	to base access controls on users member-
     ships in UNIX groups.

OPTIONS
     -d     Write debug info to stderr.  -g group  Specifies  a  group	name  to
	    match.

     -p     Also match the users primary group from /etc/passwd

     -s     Strip NT domain name component from user names (/ or \ separated)

CONFIGURATION
     This  squid.conf  example defines two Squid acls.	usergroup1 matches users
     in group1 , and usergroup2 matches users in group2 or group3
	    external_acl_type	      unix_group	 %LOGIN 	/usr/lo-
	    cal/squid/libexec/ext_unix_group_acl -p
	    acl usergroup1 external unix_group group1
	    acl usergroup2 external unix_group group2 group3

     By default up to 11 groups can be matched in one acl (including commandline
     specified groups). This limit is defined by MAX_GROUPS in the source code.

KNOWN ISSUES
     Does not understand GID aliased groups sometimes used to work around groups
     size limitations. If you are using GID aliased groups then you must specify
     each alias by name.
