I have set a squid proxy to use samba_auth (When somebody is trying to use the proxyserver, they are presented with a normal browser-popup, and are prompted for a login/password. This is their NT-login/passwd, and if they are allowed to read a file on the NT with this login/pwd, they are granted access to the squid proxy). Now I have been asked if the passwords from browser to squid is sent in cleartext, so it can be sniffed? If so, this is an argument to get swiches instead of hubs...
