This is wrong. Squid basic auth helpers read "username password" on stdin on
an endless loop. What this means is you need to run the helper like this:

$ /usr/local/samba/bin/ntlm_auth --helper-protocol=squid-2.5-basic

The helper will run, giving you just a blank line with no prompt. At that
point, type "MyDomain+myuser Mypwd" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
Squid will respond with OK or ERR. If you get error, add the --debuglevel
option to see where the problem is.
