Re: [SQU] All this NTLM stuff and possibly other bits ....

The good news is that NTLM and 'basic' authentication can be used on the same squid server in parallel. So you shoul be able to use
netscape if you want at the same time.

NTLM credentials are automatically filled out by IE - the user recieves no prompt - so it may go some way to what you want/need.
