Does it also report success for challenge/response authentication? If not
your Samba is not built with support for challenge/response authentication
via winbind and NTLM can not work without this (NTLM is
challenge/response authentication based).

Ah.. again the same question. This must be the 5 time this week.

For Samba-3 you MUST use the ntlm_auth helper included in the Samba
distribution, not the older helpers shipped with Squid. See the Samba
documentation.

This single helper supports both basic and ntlm authentication schemes for
a number of different programs, Squid included.
