Thanks for some of the advice Since posting have been doing some web searching along the lines of +identd +win98 +squid or +samba Have found several methods using an identd program to place on the win machines but quite a lot of complaints about crashes. Have also seen stuff in the squid docs about using Samba to authenticate squid but haven't
Identd only identifies. This is helpful so that the squid logs show up
usernames not machine names or IP addresses depending on your DNS/DHCP
settings.
What you really need is samba + winbind + pam + an access group in squid. We
are working at this but still haven't fully cracked it. You can use samba
plus pam for NT but it's a bit of a fudge. The trouble is that winbind is
still fairly bleeding edge.

We use an identd program in Win 95 and 98 that can be run as a service and in *silent* mode. The original download URL is broken but you can get a copy from http://linnea.tucows.com/files5/identd15.zip. The zip file includes documentation.
Hope this helps.
