#3891 Proxy Authentication icon not appearing

[Stephen Granger]

Proxy Authentication icon disappeared

Another title to attract google, had a few issues searching for a resolve to this.

System
CentOS 5.5

rpm -qa squid
squid-2.6.STABLE21-6.el5

rpm -qa webmin
webmin-1.540-1

When a password file has a comment on it's first line it fails to parse, $auth is not set in index.cgi .
line 93

else {
local $file = &get_auth_file($conf);
if ($file) {
open(AUTH, $file);
local $line = <AUTH>;
close(AUTH);
if (!$line || $line =~ /^(\S+):(\S+)/) { // it only checks for empty or password files containing valid username:password values
$auth = 2;
}
}
}

The above clause should also check and ignore commented lines. I had a disabled user on the first line of my password file, it failed to read it in.

Thanks - I will fix this in Webmin 1.550.
