Squid

Description

Now that our Samba is connected to our Windows ADS we can start to authentificate our Squid users against Windows ADS Accounts and/or Groups.

In this setup we also have an additional caching firewall proxy content-filter (cache_peer) infront of our Squid machine.

We also enable SNMP queries which we can feed to MRTG to produce nice graphs later on.

Dependencies

• Samba
• Net-SNMP

Installation

# emerge squid

# chown root:squid /var/cache/samba/winbindd_privileged

# chmod 750 /var/cache/samba/winbindd_privileged

# rc-update add squid default
