I am not sure that I am clear. It is working already for the most part, just not exactly as I want it to. Take this example: If I use command "wbinfo -u" I will receive the user "Shane" as one account listed... But, in Windows XP, I am signed in under "DOMAIN\Shane" so the authentication does not recognize me. If I type in "Shane" in logon screen for Squid, I am able to use just fine... The access log is updated as I browse the web. But, if I attempt to logon with "DOMAIN\Shane" I am rejected. I want Squid to recognize the "DOMAIN\Shane" as the username so my users do not have to logon. It would seem that if I can append "DOMAIN\" to the username that is passed, things would be fine... But I am not sure. Thank you for the assistance.

I would get it working without groups FIRST and them add them later....one thing at a time. :) Dave
