Still no luck? :(

As I understand it, Squid doesn't need any access to the 'proxyauth' file
- the users authenticating themselves to Squid need access. You must be
able to connect to the share containing 'proxyauth' as these users and
read the contents of the 'proxyauth' file - until this works, smb_auth
can't work properly.
