Hi all,
  I am running Squid 2.6.STABLE9 w/ ntlm_auth and basic, both are run
against a windows DC and Firefox 1.5.0.9
  If I log into a gmail account and leave the browser open, eventually
the gmail interface performs some type of refresh. At times when it
does this, squid begins to prompt for credentials. Upon entering valid
credentials, it continues to prompt, over and over again. If I cancel,
squid falls back to basic auth and the credentials are accepted and
away we go.
  Taking a look at cache.log while the repeated prompt is occuring,
here is what I see:

[root@masada1 ~]# tail -f /var/log/squid/cache.log

[2007/02/22 10:39:49, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_update(267)
  got NTLMSSP command 3, expected 1

  The cache.log is loaded with this error. 30 for today and more in
the past. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris
