Hi Humphrey.

I'm not sure why you are trying to authenticate users on the squid
port. The hotspot uses a transparent squid proxy already, and then
uses the hotspot interface to show logs for each user. There is an
"Extension" that needs to be rewritten so the logs contain the logged
in username (useful for dansguardian filtering), there should be an
active bug request for that.

Users should not be able to access port 3128 until they are
authenticated via the captive portal. If they can, you have changed
some settings that break things.
