None.
Do not use smblib. If you want to verify a password against Windows,
use winbindd and pam_winbind or ntlm_auth (new in 3.0 alpha).
smblib has had a number of issues over the years, and I understand that
the authentication is usually just LM based (case-insensitive). More
particularly, there is no way for it to tell if it's actually talking to
the DC.
