Yeesh. Please upgrade. Squid 2.6 was end-of-life'd June 2008.

It is also very unlikely that your Squid will operate both safely or
correctly on a lot of modern Internet traffic.

CentOS 5 itself is rather old too. CentOS 7 is what we are building and
testing current Squid with.

Use the full path to the helper and ensure that it is the *Samba* helper
binary being used. There is an identically named binary installed by
Squid which operates VERY differently and does not peform NTLM properly.

Other problems can and need to wait on that being fixed.
