A little over a year ago, Frank Schmirler submitted a pound 1.8 patch
to this list that allowed pound to do its own authentication (i.e.
before allowing access to the backend) using the Squid authenticators.

My question to the list:

Has anyone done anything similar with more recent versions of pound?
There are a couple of bugs in 1.8 that cause it to be less than stable
for production use, so my hopes were that someone has a similar
implementation with a recent version of pound.

A copy of Frank's original post is here:

Thanks!

A lot of it was incorporated into the regular releases. 1.8 is a bit old
- you should try at least 1.10, or even better the latest 2.x.

You mean the authentication bits were incorporated into the latest releases?

if so, that's great.  I'll check it out!
