This Saturday, I spent some time coding an NTLM authentication module. It
can be found on my blog at

Intresting, I'll test out this library on the win2k3 servers. Intresting this
library would help with some apps which I don't want to create a separate
passwd file each time.

It only acts as an authentication client for now, I do not plan on making
it an authentication provider, as there are _standard_ authentication
protocols available. If you want to add that functionality, you have some
code in there that may help you and I am willing to accept patches.

Good luck,
Jonathan
