 Henrik,

<q>
For Samba-3.X the winbind helpers which was shipped with Squid should
not be used (and won't work if you attempt to do so), instead the
ntlm_auth helper shipped as part of the Samba-3 distribution should be
used. This helper supports all versions of Squid and both the ntlm and
basic authentication schemes. For details on how to use this Samba
helper see the Samba documentation. For group membership lookups the
wbinfo_group helper shipped with Squid can be used (this is just a
wrapper around the samba wbinfo program and works with all versions of
Samba)
