Re: [squid-users] Running squid -k reconfigure frequently

I have Squid running in a cybercafe environment. Frequently, new users
will be added, and existing user's accounts will be disabled. This is
to enable and disable Internet access for people.

I'm currently using access with a password file that gets modified
whenever there is a user change. The changes don't take effect until I
restart squid, or do a squid -k reconfigure.

Someone else suggested that I use LDAP to avoid this issue, and I'm
looking into that option right now.
