samba - Jun 2005 - Authenticate machine accounts with ntlm_auth

Hi,

Is it possible to authenticate a machine account with ntlm_auth ?
When a machine tries to authencate itself, the username looks like this: 
"host/hostname.domain.org"
I don't know if ntlm_auth is able to understand this format...

Regards

Jeremy

It shouldn't mess with the username too much.  The problem (I think, but
I'll need to see traces) is the backend talking to ADS, which determines
if the unusual case of a machine account doing an NTLM login can
proceed.
