NAME
       squid_unix_group - Squid UNIX Group external_acl helper

SYNOPSIS
       squid_unix_group [-g groupname] [-g groupname...] [-p]

DESCRIPTION
       This  helper  allows Squid to base access controls on users memberships
       in UNIX groups.

       -g groupname
              Specifies a group name to match.

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

EXAMPLES
       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/local/squid/libexec/squid_unix_group -p

              acl usergroup1 external unix_group group1

              acl usergroup2 external unix_group group2 group3

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

KNOWN ISSUES

       groups  size  limitations. If you are using gid aliased groups then you
       must specify each alias by name.
