Hello, I am using ntlm_auth from samba-3.0.0 with squid 2.5.STABLE3. Win2k clients can authenticate, but win98 not. In squid cache.log I see: libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_server_auth(278) ntlmssp_server_auth: failed to parse NTLMSSP: My squid.conf has: auth_param ntlm program /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-ntlmssp auth_param ntlm children 2 auth_param ntlm max_challenge_reuses 0 auth_param ntlm max_challenge_lifetime 2 minutes acl AuthorizedUsers proxy_auth REQUIRED http_access allow AuthorizedUsers Regards, Nerijus
