The operating system using SMB as client is most probably Windows in case you set up a samba server. squid is an HTTP-proxy. Something completely different. And setting it up (at least with a default configuration, which you'll have to adapt) is simply installing the port and starting it. -- Heiko Wundram Product & Application Development
