AFAIK - NO - it is waaaaaaaaay to simple to work like that. Squid is only a
cache. You could redirect an user to a login site with your firewall script,
after he logs in, you could redirect him to squid ( at least his http
traffic ). But again AFAIK there is no radius client module for squid. Nor
it is planned in a way you want it.

Hello,

I'm very new to free raduis and would like to know if it will run with 
squid proxy server. If so how would this work? What I am looking to do 
is to allow users to access the internet via the transparent squid 
proxy for limited time sessions. Eg. a user who wishes to use the 
system would be greeted by a web page asking for a code. The code 
(which they would get from the system admin) would grant them access 
for 1 hour. Can this be done using FreeRadius and Squid?

Sean.
