Re: [squid-users] Join Squid to Windows Domain Controller : Configuring Squid for NTLM with Winbind Authentication on CentOS 5

Hi Amos.

Stop what? I've understood stop doing only step 4, right? Any way, I
was following http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Authenticate/NtlmCentOS5
article and I didn't find wbpriv group on my CentOS 5.4 box (Yeah,
authconfig, krb5-workstation and samba-common are installed!). To
finish, I've used another CentOS 5.4 machine and installed from
scratch authconfig, krb5-workstation and samba-common and guess,
/var/cache/samba/winbindd_privileged directory was created with 750
root:squid rights!

I wonder, should I create wbpriv group, assign squid user to it and
make root:wbpriv the owner of /var/cache/samba/winbindd_privileged
directory in order to make my environment more secure? Any help with
this will be very appreciated.
