[squid-users] auth problems

I can get squid to work as I want when not using any auth module.
As I can't find any auth module that works as I want, I wrote an own
according to the instructions I've found. But I'm not sure it works
exactly as it should. It denies bad passwords, but when I've entered a
correct one the connections just hangs, and nothing more happens.

My auth module looks like this and it should let anyone in who has login
permissions on the squid host computer:
(Feel free to include a corrected version of this auth module in coming
releases of squid, just mention my mail adress as author or something.)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <pwd.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
  struct passwd *pw;
  char login[512],pass[512];
  FILE *fh;
  while((scanf("%s%s",login,pass))==2)
    {
      pw=getpwnam(login);
      if(!pw)
        {
          printf("ERR\n");
        }
      else
        {
          if(strcmp(crypt(pass,pw->pw_passwd),pw->pw_passwd))
            {
              printf("ERR\n");
            }
          else
            {
              printf("OK\n");
            }
          fflush(stdout);
        }
    }
  return 0;
}
