Hi

I've been banging my head against a wall for too long and I
hope someone can enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong. I
have been trying to get a squid proxy (using NT4 domain
logons) working on a RHEL WS 3.0 server and had some success
using basic authentication. The problem is that I want to
pass the login details to Websense Enterprise for content
filtering which requires the use of wb_ntlmauth.

I have some documentation provided by Websense that says I
need to ensure that Samba is built with --with-winbind and
--with-winbind-auth-challenge (which it is - now) and also
gave me the chunk of squid.conf to make it work:

auth_param ntlm program /usr/lib/squid/wb_ntlmauth
auth_param ntlm children 5
auth_param ntlm max_challenge_reuses 0
auth_param ntlm max_challenge_lifetime 2 minutes

auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm Salvesen Proxy
auth_param basic credentialsttl 2 hours

This passes verification and starts up okay but whenever a
client tries to connect I see the following in cache.log:

(wb_ntlmauth)[2818](wb_ntlm_auth.c:414): Can't contact
winbindd. Dying

The wbinfo command works with -t, -u, -g, -a
getent passwd and getent group both work
I can connect to shares with my desktop PC and open Server
Manager
I just can't understand why it is not working...

I am running Samba/winbindd version 3.0.7-1.3E and Squid
2.5.STABLE3, both provided by RedHat
