+But, it is irrelevant. samba-common is required by both samba-client and
+samba-server, so you can't install samba without getting ntlm_auth.
+
+This is really about whether squid should pull in any pieces of samba by
+default, and could be solved by adding:
+Suggests: samba-common
+
+to squid. But, I don't see much value, as this is a small part of the work
+required to get a single-sign on authentication solution for squid against AD.
+The default squid.conf already has example configs showing that ntlm_auth is
+required, and all we are saving the user is a 'urpmf ntlm_auth' and a 'urpmi
+samba-common'. However, there are many scenarios squid can be deployed (e.g.
+SSO with GSSAPI, basic auth with LDAP, PAM, NIS etc., no authentication, peer
+cache only etc.), and I don't see a reason to pull in samba-common by default,
+when it saves the admin very little effort.
