root@pyro:~# echo "username password" | /usr/local/libexec/squid/cenergy_auth
ERR
root@pyro:~# echo "USER PASS" | /usr/local/libexec/squid/cenergy_auth
OK
root@pyro:~#

First one is a username/password that is invalid (for testing purposes), the
second is a actual user that exist - and as you can see, this is working.

The authenticator queries a mysql database though, and what is bothering me
EXTREMELY is that the script does not even query the database. It would
seem to me that squid never pass the authentication request to the script.
