[Samba] ntlm_auth and high load fault

[Bruno Guerreiro]

Hi,
I've noticed that Windows Updates, just won't do NTLM auth, so i've just
added a no_auth exception for windows update sites.
How many children are you starting. I'm serving +700 users with just one
squid with 30 ntlm_auth processes on a PII/800 MHZ/256 MB Ram with no
problems wathsoever.

Best Regards,
Bruno Guerreiro
