Just wanted to report that I have had success running cntlm on a debian qemu virtual machine. For the other debian users out there, if you are having trouble running apt-get behind your proxy server, try changing the queue-mode in your apt.conf to "access". Put the following stanza in your /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf or /etc/apt/apt.conf (depending on distro I guess):
This should cause apt-get to stop initiating parallel http requests. I think this was causing the proxy server to get overloaded w/ authentication requests (especially on apt-get update) and block my username for a while. I started getting http 407 errors even in firefox and my username/pw no longer would work. If you see such errors, maybe let the proxy rest for awhile. ;)
