19                   Specifies the path to a configuration file. See the CONFIG‐
20                   URATION section for details on the file content.
21
22       -h server   Alternative method of specifying the server to connect to
23
24       -p port     Specify another server port where the RADIUS server listens
25                   for  requests  if  different  from the default RADIUS port.
26                   Normally not specified.
27
28       -i identifier
29                   Unique identifier identifying this Squid proxy to  the  RA‐
30                   DIUS  server.   If  not specified the IP address is used to
31                   identify the proxy.
32
33       -w secret   Alternative method of specifying the shared  secret.  Using
34                   the  -f  option with a configuration file is generally more
