CNTLM RPM was installed properly. The service is configured and seems running fine: 

[user@centos~]$ sudo service cntlmd status
Checking for CNTLM Authentication Proxy: ● cntlmd.service - LSB: start/stop the cntlm proxy
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/cntlmd)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2016-09-07 13:14:45 BST; 2min 53s ago

But I don't have any network connectivity: yum and curl both fail with the same message: 

Failed connect to localhost:3128; Connection refused

There are more info in journalctl:

Sep 07 13:09:47 centos cntlmd[6275]: Starting CNTLM Authentication Proxy: [  OK  ]

So apparently cntlm can't create its pid file... What can I do ?

This centos.org's post saved me. The solution is simply to allow cntlm to create its pid file:

$ mkdir /var/run/cntlm
$ chgrp cntlm /var/run/cntlm/
$ chmod g+w /var/run/cntlm/
$ service cntlmd restart
