I'm not quite sure what sort of logon you envision with Squid as it is a 
web proxy, perhaps you mean authentication for browsing the WWW.  
However, that is a Squid issue.  This page gives quite a good tutorial 
for using Squid as a transparent proxy, which is what you would want if 
you were to force all HTTP requests through Squid:

The "Packet Filtering" and "NAT Howto" can both be found at this page in a 
number of languages:

http://netfilter.org/documentation/index.html#documentation-howto


And an excellent tutorial by Oskar is available at:

http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html

I hope those links help,
