I never ask squid to authenticate from tge /etc/passwd /etc/shadow files
directly. What is done here (8000 users for authentication - academic
staff) is that every 30 min, a file is update under
/usr/local/squid/etc/passwd, with the following fields:

user:pass

This file is used by the ncsa_auth for authentication. This file can be
created by root, via a cron job, and you don't need to give squid or
anyone else for this matter access to /etc/shadow.
