Hi, Here are some directives which we should be including in the squid.spec file. These simply add support for more helpers (digest), they do not directly affect the squid binary itself. --enable-auth="basic,digest,ntlm" (digest is new) --enable-digest-auth-helpers="password" (digest auth helper) --enable-ntlm-auth-helpers="fakeauth,no_check,winbind" (including fakeauth - handy for testing) Also, is there a reason why we are using --enable-truncate ? I would tend to suggest eliminating this option, -unlinkd is arguably slightly slower, but means we are less likely to run out of inodes. Anyone who is running a high performance or very busy proxy with squid should know how to tune their system and make this change themselves, if they feel it is important. But for smaller installations where minimal configuration is required, I would think that elimination of this configure option is actually an overall gain.
