The ntlm_auth, which is external to squid and part of the samba package, doesnt' change between version uprgrades, so I don't see how it can be involved (and why replace it with a fake helper ?). In the same time it's an authentication helper. The squid_kerb_ldap, also known as ext_kerberos_ldap_group_acl, is, indeed, an "external acl" helper, but it has nothing to do with NTLM, as it doesn't use it. My opinion - this pr is flooded with error messages of almost any kind, and it's very hard to see the point. We need to understand what's happening to squid when it starts to hit the 100% CPU usage, last time I saw this during the night without any possible user traffic load.
