I don't understand it yet. I'll try to expose my scenario: I've a working PDC with samba/openldap. I've more servers with PAM configured to do ldap auth to the PDC server. In one of this servers I've configured squid, and I'd like be able to use the NTLM module so I can use the windows credentials instead of pushing users to auth themselves. The squid server has a bunch of other services (like bind, dhcp3-server, and so on), but it does not have samba installed (however, it has a /etc/samba/smb.conf file). What I'm confused is that, while following the squid-cache wiki tutorial, some things worked, but others didn't. For example, wbinfo -t works and wbinfo -a also, but wbinfo -g nor wbinfo -u didn't work. Moreover, gpasswd -a proxy winbindd_priv didn't work in the squid machine, but it worked in the PDC machine. I've didn't changed anything in the PAM configuration nor the nsswitch info. I'm really lost here, I don't get why it seems that I need a working samba server on the squid machine to be able to connecto the the PDC. I've also googled a lot but most of the realted topics point to either AD or kerberos, which I'm not using... Any hint?
