auth_param ntlm
+

The helper binary bundled with Squid under the name ntlm_auth has been renamed to accurately reflect +its real behavior and to prevent confusion with the more useful Samba helper using the same name.

+

Despite being used for NTLM, the helper does not in fact provide true NTLM function. What it does provide is +SMB LanManager authentication through the NTLM interface without the need for a domain controller. Thus the +new name is ntlm_smb_lm_auth.

+

WARNING: due to the name clash with Samba helper, admin should be careful to only update their squid.conf if the +squid bundled binary is used and needed. If the Samba helper is in use, the squid.conf should not be altered.

The previous default behavour (rotate per-request) of this setting causes failover clashes with IPv6 built-in mechanisms. It has thus been turned off by default.

--disable-internl-dns

Better support for Linux using the external DNS helper. The helper will now compile and work with dns_nameservers on more variants of Linux than previously.
