samba - May 2007 - PHP/Samba Authentication w/ tdb files.

Hello,

I am working on a web based file system access solution for the company I
work for. I need to authenticate users against samba's password database, I
found a project called PEAR::File_SMBPasswd that works with the older (and
now depricated?) smbpasswd file format, however it fails spectacularly when
using it with sambas TDB formatted files.

I have googled for the last week trying to find a solution, or even some
docs on the tdb format so I could read it with PHP but I am at the end of my
rope (and soon my deadline) for this one.

Any ideas?

I am not sure if this will help you, but from a quick google search.
