Will get better the day we can switch to use Kerberos/SPNEGO authentication.. but unfortunately not yet sufficiently supported in any of the involved components (browers, Squid, Samba) to be deployed seriously.. The Squid side of things is available in Squid-3, or as a patch to 2.5 at devel.squid-cache.org. The Samba side is available in Samba-4, and the MSIE browser side of things is available in the next Windows version.. Regards Henrik
