Henrik please have patience with me. This is my squid.conf? --------squid.conf--------- auth_param ntlm program c:/squid/libexec/mswin_ntlm_auth.exe external_acl_type NT_global_group %LOGIN c:/squid/libexec/mswin_check_lm_group.exe -G -c auth_param ntlm children 100 --------squid.conf--------- I addes children=100 at the end of external_acl: external_acl_type NT_global_group %LOGIN c:/squid/libexec/mswin_check_lm_group.exe -G -c children=100 but in cache.log I saw squid start always 5 processes. What I need to change in my squid.conf?

Defaults to 5 (undocumented, fixing that). Regards Henrik
