mmhhh... So I would have to install Samba-3 on my Debian and other stuff
too?

If my boss wants two different user databases (AD for Windows logons,
another one for squid), which would be the best solution in relation to
squid? Would there be any chance to have MySQL with a table made of
"user/pass" pairs, used by a squid authenticator?

Thanks again...
