samba - May 1998 - Linux passwd authentication through NT

Hello,

   I would like to authenticate Linux' logins by asking a local NT server
whether the supplied login id and the corresponding password match.

   Is there a way to do this ?

   I.e. is there a PAM module or any other utility that would allow me to
do this from a script ? (i.e. a script like
 $ correct_NT_passwd _supplied_username_ _supplied_passwd_
 that would return 0 if they match and 1 if they don't ?)

PS : I *am* aware of potential security problems. But I want to do this
anyway.

       Thanx,

          Jan

p.s.  The web stuff you are looking for is in the samba source,
in the 'source/web' directory.
