[squid-users] Squidnt: increase 'mswin_check_lm_group.exe' processes

I use squidnt 2.6 stable4 on windows 2003 and it works perfectly with
Active Directory Integration

Just a curiosity...

Today reading again cache.log I saw an interesting thing:
helperOpenServers: Starting 5 'mswin_check_lm_group.exe' processes

My squid.conf is:
-------------squid.con--------------
external_acl_type NT_global_group %LOGIN
c:/squid/libexec/mswin_check_lm_group.exe -G -c
acl DomainUsers external NT_global_group "c:/squid/etc/DomainUsers.txt"
acl Proxy_Messengers_yes external NT_global_group Proxy_Messengers_yes
acl Proxy_Internet_Ts external NT_global_group Proxy_Internet_Ts
acl Proxy_All_Open external NT_global_group Proxy_All_Open
acl Proxy_ftp_porn_block_yes external NT_global_group
Proxy_ftp_porn_block_yes

auth_param ntlm children 100
-------------squid.con--------------

As you can see I configured 100 ntlm processes but I haven't configured
the number of "mswin_check_lm_group.exe" processes.
Why squid start 5 processes? I think they are they enough because I
haven't problem but I would like to know where is this value taken from
and how to change it

Thanks
