Hi, I have search in faq and mailing list about this problem and the only solution was with the premission in winbindd_privileged/pipe. So I'm going to discribe my situation: I have install samba 3.0.10 with ./configure --with-winbind smb.conf: [global] workgroup = mylan server string = Samba Server security = domain load printers = no log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m max log size = 50 password server = pdc winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind use default domain = yes winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes encrypt passwords = yes wins server = 10.0.0.1 dns proxy = no ## permitions: drwxr-s--- 2 root squid 4096 Jan 31 15:26 winbindd_privileged srwxrwxrwx 1 root squid 0 Jan 31 15:26 pipe proxy squid (squid-2.5.STABLE5-icap-6-pre3)compiled and configuration: ./configure --enable-auth="ntlm,basic" --enable-external-acl-helpers="wbinfo_group" squid.conf: auth_param ntlm program /usr/local/samba/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp auth_param ntlm children 30 auth_param ntlm max_challenge_reuses 0 auth_param ntlm max_challenge_lifetime 2 minutes auth_param basic program /usr/local/samba/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-basic auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm Squid proxy-caching web server auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours acl Auth proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow all Auth error: after starting: ./squid -N -d1 and IE 6 sp2 it crashes: FATAL: authenticateNTLMHandleReply: called with no result string in the access.log: 1107254685.852 3 10.3.67.89 TCP_DENIED/407 1698 GET http://web/ - NONE/- text/html 1107254695.134 1 10.3.67.89 TCP_DENIED/407 1698 GET http://web/ - NONE/- text/html in the cache.log: 2005/02/01 15:31:44| helperStatefulOpenServers: Starting 30 'ntlm_auth' processes ntlm_auth: error opening config file /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.
