Hi,

My current client is running (or about to) run an NT network. They
want to run an internal internet proxy and for some unknown reason
authenticate the users against their Windows NT domain (to stop the
cleaners accessing the internet or something). They are looking at
running M$ products to do this.

Some of us have suggested that there might be a better way (cheaper
and faster). We are suggesting that they use squid for the proxy. We
have also said that squid should be able to authenticate users using
samba. If we add a samba server to there domain and have it act as a
bdc will squid then authenticate using the NT domain information?

Thanks,

Bill.
