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.
