I'm looking to create a "passdb backend" plugin so that Samba can authenticate with our existing custom authentication system.

...nly covers NTLM authentication, but not password chagnes nor machine account authentication (netlogon ServerAuthenticateX), and passdb has so many arms and lets it is quite difficult to implement (but more practical). Both require that you have access to the NT hash of the user's password (MD4(utf16_le(password)). If access to that is available, it may be more practical to present your existing DB in something that looks like our normal LDAP tree. Anyway, if you can discuss what you have and need we can see how we can help solve your problems. Thanks, Andrew Bartlett
