I'm forwarding this to the list, it might be of interest to others
having too much time on their hands. :-)

Well, there are fixes to do for those patches. The NTLMSSP helper won't
compile on Solaris (and my not compile on non-glibc-based systems) because
of some gnu-ness that creeped in (need to work some configure). It might
also
be broken on big-endian machines, but I need to make sure first (I only have
easy
access to X86-hardware).

Then, on my wishlist-todolist (in no particular order).

- expand SNMP monitoring features
- add NTLM helpers[1] for /etc/smbpasswd, cleartext passwords, databases,
and possibly Active Directory/LDAP (bought the O'Reilly book on AD, need
to study that).
- "relay" helpers for basic- and NTLM- auth, allowing to use more than one
auth-backend.
- customizable logfile format
- work on splay_auth to have it support auth-checks without challenge, to be
used for:
- a no_log directive, preventing logging of hits based on ACLs.

[1] Just to get uniform on terms: an "helper" is an external process doing
things on behalf of Squid.
A "module" is the code _inside_ squid that's the counterpart of an helper.

> Thanks for all your help,

You're welcome.

BTW: It might be a good idea to put my employer in the newborn SPONSORS
list, as
I'm doing all my squid work on company time. Henrik, what do you think?
