RE: [squid-users] Random authentication popups

I get these messages in cache.log.

[2006/06/02 16:22:51, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_update(252)
  got NTLMSSP command 3, expected 1
[2006/06/02 16:24:30, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_update(252)

[2006/06/02 16:26:04, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_update(252)
  got NTLMSSP command 3, expected 1

Any ideas? Are others seeing the same log messages when the random
login prompts?

This is really wrong:

Usually disabling it, NTLM problems are increased .... :-(

Usually similar problems are originated by an high latency in the
communication between Samba and the Domain Controllers.

This could be more useful, but a look into cache.log to see if there
are any error like
"WARNING: All ntlmauthenticator processes are busy" before change
anything.
