Yes, with authentication. The difference there is that the authentication
was against LDAP instead of NT.

Here is the problem I am trying to solve and maybe there is a better
solution then using the existing squid proxy and if so I'm open to it
(SOCKS is the only thing I am not going to do ). We are being forced to
allow AIM access for our users. Instead of just opening the AIM port on
the firewall, I would prefer to send it through a proxy server of some
type. Since we already had Squid, that seemed the best way to do it
except I have his this authentication issue. If I have to open it
straight thought the firewall I will I just wanted to check here first and
see if there was anything I could do on Squid to make the authenitcation
work (or if there is a better way to set this up then going through squid,
I'm open except for SOCKS)
