[squid-users] Unable to start ntlm_auth processes or connect to winbindd

Greetings,

I am trying to set up squid 2.5 with samba 3.0 in order to run authentication from our Active directory domain. up to now I have been unable to get squid talking to the ntlm_auth process or winbindd. here is output from the cache.log:

I have tried looking at the squid and samba FAQs, other squid and samba online documentation, and online mailing list archive. nothing appears to help.
I am running the latest tarball of Squid 2.5-STABLE 4 and Samba 3.0.0.
