hi there, I'm having some trouble getting squid to authenticate against ADS with ntlm authentication. basically what happens is no matter what browser i use (IE or firefox) i get a popup authentication box. from what i understand about this, is it's doing basic authentication and not NTLM. so something must be wrong with the NTLM helper (i think so anyway) if anyone has any idea on this please help me out, but for the time being i think i have a solution but i have to find out weather it's right first and i don't know how to. one website i've found that might be my answer. http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-dev/200206/0084.html it says i need to have '--with-winbind-auth-challenge' enabled on samba, how do i know weather it is enabled or not. if it is not enabled can someone tell me how to enable it? i'm using RHEL samba-common-3.0.9-1.3E.3 squid-2.5.STABLE3-6.3E.14 this is the read out of the following command. ./usr/sbin/smbd -b Build environment:
