I simply forgot to join the Samba machine to the domain with net rpc join, so ntlm_auth was failing. I noticed that the command "wbinfo -u" gives "Error looking up domain users" on a Samba DC, whereas it returns the list of usernames when it is issued on a member server. I tried this on different Samba domain controllers too. This led me to think that the Samba domain controller setup was going to be different at all. Now I joined the machine to the domain, and ntlm_auth --username xxx --password xxx is working good. Unfortunately I'm not able to try the whole squid functionality with a real browser at the moment, but I think it's likely to be ok now. Thank you. Luigi
