NTLMSSP doesn't really use username/password like basic authentication, so you can't really confirm it from the command line. The best you can do is: # /usr/local/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp KK and that should give you back a 'TT Tl...AA' type response. What versions of Squid and Samba are you running? Is the winbind authenticator running? Is it logging any useful messages (normally in daemonlog)?
