Good morning, I would ask you an information and help. Actually I use squid 3.1.21 on debian 6.0.7 with ntlm and kerberos authentication and all works fine. Now I must recompile squid and I would test 3.3.3 version. The options that I have used for the compile are: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/squid \ --with-default-user=proxy \ --enable-async-io \ --enable-storeio="ufs,aufs,diskd" \ --enable-auth \ --disable-auth-basic \ --enable-auth-ntml=smb_lm \ --enable-auth-negotiate=kerberos,wrapper \ --disable-auth-digest \ --with-large-files \ --with-filedescriptors=65535 \ --enable-ltdl-convenience \ --enable-ssl \ --disable-ipv6 The daemon seems to work but when I try to authenticate through ntlm not work while kerberos work correctly I look in the file cache.log and the error message is the follow: ntlm_smb_lm_auth.cc(482): pid=11662 :managing request ntlm_smb_lm_auth.cc(488): pid=11662 :ntlm authenticator.
