So I started over after making my customer happy with squid and DG, but they want to log names (Terminal Server environment). I have setup all of the samba stuff and it all works. I have set up the authentication part of squid and it doesn't. If I use: ./ntlm-auth --username=test1, it asks for a password and it works. When I use: ./ntlm-auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-basic --username=test1, it just spits out ERR I have done this several times and I am not getting something?? I have all of the wbinfo -g, -u and -t checked and working. From the box I can log into shares with smbclient. From the w2k3 server I can log in as administrator and then go to network neighborhood, see the samba server and click on it and get to the 'dropzone' share.. all without being prompted for a password. So I know samba and the w2k3 server are seeing eachother and communicating..?? Any ideas where I can start to see an error or anything? thanks, bk __________________________________ Yahoo!
