For wbinfo_group.pl to work you need to use Squid-2.5, not Squid-2.4. But from the rest of your discussion it seems you are using Squid-2.5.. The wbinfo_group.pl script works fine assuming your Perl installation is reasonably up to date and includes the shellwords.pl library module required by the helper. If your Perl installation does not include shellwords.pl then grab this file from a reasonably up to date Perl distribution and add it to your perl installation, or upgrade your Perl. > 2) I've noticed that I must use ntlm_auth helper to make possible > wbinfo_group to authenticate. It's strange... wbinfo_group is a basic auth, > ntlm_auth is NTLM one. wbinfo_group is GROUP membership lookups for authorization, not authentication. The two functions are separate from each other as they stand for different concepts. authorization is about who is allowed to do what. authentication is about who is who. ntlm_auth in Samba-3 is a generic authentication helper for winbind and supports both basic and NTLM authentication schemes. The fact that it is named ntlm_auth is mostly historical and does not accurately reflect it's function. Regards Henrik
