I am not using this so I can't speak specifically but you can check
out...

http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ntlm.html

or just google... Andrew Bartlett squid ntlm

and you will see a lot of hits

and there should be some man page info included with your samba
installation...

http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/ntlm_auth.1.html

I don't think John is correct on the above but again, I haven't done it.
