samba - Jun 2000 - Samba, Apache, & NT

I am in need of authenticating a webpage hosted by Apache to an NT domain.
Apache is on a linux system running Samba 2.0.6. Is there anything that
allows Apache to communicate with Samba for authentication purposes?

        There are two methods: 
        1. look in the CPAN archives for SMB-authentication for Apache 
        (Apache-AuthenSmb-0.60). This is a mod_perl module. You also need the 
        mod_perl module and the Authen-Smb perl module to operate it.
        
        2. also in CPAN: mod_ntlm: a Apache module for automatic 
        authentication from IE. I haven't tried this one and I'm not
sure how
        it works. It looks like it needs to have a special (security) setting 
        in IE to make it work. 
        This module can only authenticate with the supplied Windows name & 
        password and by a given name & password as in method 1.
        
        Best regards,
        
        Dirk

Be careful if you allow the guest user. Authen::SMB 0.91 doesn't make any
distinction
between logged-in-as-guest and correctly-logged-in.
I have a patch to add that behavior (already sent to the maintainer, but I
haven't
heard from him since).

I couldn't find it. Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
