It's unknown how to exactly reproduce this bug but I do have a dump which will probably be helpful. I am using Squid (squid-2.5.STABLE3) on Fedora Core 1. I am using the ntlm_auth for ntlm authentication in squid. From time to time, as users are surfing, they receive a user/password/domain dialog (if they are a domain member they should never see this). Within my cache.log, I see the following logs corresponding to the exact time: Using a Windows 98 machine: [2004/06/21 13:30:53, 1] libsmb/ntlmssp.c:ntlmssp_server_auth(549) ntlmssp_server_auth: failed to parse NTLMSSP: [2004/06/21 13:30:53, 2] lib/util.c:dump_data(1886) [000] 4E 54 4C 4D 53 53 50 00 03 00 00 00 18 00 18 00 NTLMSSP. ........

This is a real bug, which I have not yet chased down. Merging with 1194 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1194 ***
