NAME
       squid_unix_group - Squid UNIX Group external_acl helper

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

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

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

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 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.
