The MS does it through combination of passing around access tokens and
caching the password (in hashes). This is done at SMB level. The reason why
MS Proxy can work in that way is because it requires you to install the
client program on each PC and then use RPC over SMB to access the proxy
server. I would rate your chances as being very marginally higher than 0% of
ever being able to reproduce such setup directly. You may be able to
syncronize a linux server running squid with windows NT and then write a
custom authentication module. I am inclined to put in the too hard basket
though.
Dave.
