You should probably be using the PAM helper.. the getpwnam only supports
non-shadow systems using crypt hasing (not MD5).

getpwnam:

auth_param basic program /path/to/squid/libexec/getpwnam_auth

no additional configuration, but only works in the exact conditions
abowe, which is a diminishing small population of hosts today..

PAM:

auth_param basic program /path/to/squid/libexec/pam_uath

and suitable squid service definition on your systems PAM config. See
the pam_auth documentation (man page shipped with Squid).
