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...
