Dear all, I have a case of a customer that has about 1000 users {all stored in Novell 5.1}. I am trying to design a squid solution in order to have bandwidth allocation per user group. After some thought, there are going to be some 9-12 groups. At this point I must clear out that no url filtering is in the plans {no squidguard nothing}. The main reason for the squid is the delay_pools feature, plus some accounting with sarg. The customer has a 4 Mbit leased line. Do you have any suggestions concerning the sizing of the server ? (Memory, CPU etc) In addition there is another interesting issue. I have implemented authentication many times in the past against M$ AD with absolutely excellent results. The transparent authentication is always a handy thing ;-). I was wandering if one of you had done the same thing against Novell Directory Server (NDS). I know I have two options a) use the ldap helper (either pure text or encrypted by SSL) b) use MS Netware services so as to authenticate against M$ AD (piece of cake) I was thinking if there was a way to use the pam system of the squid server and find a way to connect to that bloody NDS box.Or is there a way to replicate the NDS with the Openldap on my machine ? I think that winbind is the answer to transparent authentication with M$ clients, but I see no obvious-easy way to involve it. If I fulfill the transparent auth thing would be really nice. Any comments or ideas would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance for your attention. -- ########################################3 Zaharioudakis Nikos mob: +30 6947204063 A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
