Hi Markus, Thanks for the info. If squid can use MIT kerberos, then hopefully I should be ok to get it working with Mac OS X Server (and OpenDirectory), based off http://developer.apple.com/opensource/kerberosintro.html
On the Novell front, it's harder to find info on it's kerberos integration, but it looks like it's available. I guess I'll just have to experiment, and see how I go. Thanks heaps for the help.
