Will get better the day we can switch to use Kerberos/SPNEGO
authentication.. but unfortunately not yet sufficiently supported in
any of the involved components (browers, Squid, Samba) to be deployed
seriously..

The Squid side of things is available in Squid-3, or as a patch to 2.5
at devel.squid-cache.org. The Samba side is available in Samba-4, and
the MSIE browser side of things is available in the next Windows
version..
