[squid-users] Valid user not able to authenticate

Hi all,

I have a group membership acl against a W2K AD domain mostly working (RH
7.3, Squid 2.5 STABLE1, samba 2.2.6), but I get this occassional problem
where a valid user will have been browsing earlier in the day, then they
start getting the 'access denied' page from the proxy.

When I manually use the helper - libexec/wb_group - to check the group
membership, I get user does not exist. If I use samba/bin/wbinfo -u, to list
users the user is listed.

I had to restart the winbind daemon before the user could authenticate
again.

Does any one know why this is happening ?

It is possibly causing other transient problems too where a user my be
browsing OK, then the browser will prompt for domain credentials, if you
enter valid credentials or if you click the cancel button you are able to
continue. I haven't tried putting in incorrect credentials, but I imagine it
doesn't matter what you do.

Thanks
