Re: [squid-users] Squid versus Microsoft ISA - Query RE: Squid Reporting and NT Authentication

1) squidalyzer- there may be others....

2) I have just completed a test-install for demo purposes that use Samba
v3's ntlm_auth(can't use squid' ntlm_auth) with an w2k3 AD setup. PDC
should work fine as well. Just follow the squid docs on the ntlm_auth
and use Samba V3's ntlm_auth instead.

Enjoy,

Dave
