Or you might install both and have junkbuster forward requests to squid
and then filter the ads. Probably viceversa would work too, so you could
have squid cache junkbuster ad filtered pages. Just an idea. Anyone done
something like this?

You might do it the other way around using pam_smb to authenticate unix
logins against a Windows domain controller/active directory server. I do
it with enigma, valhalla and psyche. A catch is you have to create local
accounts for each and every user on each unix machine.

On the security side, I'm not quite sure about how secure is pam_smb
authentication, so if you need to authenticate machines on a distributed
site, you might be better off doing it iver a VPN (which is always a
good idea, anyway).
