Phil,
Try this link - might be something there you can use, if you tunnel down
enough layers....

Ugh. Damn. That's unfortunate...

Jeremy - I was making progress with the ExtSec code, but I'm hung up on
decoding a new on-the-wire struct I haven't seen before - do you have any
idea if there's a good spec for NTLMSSP (ha!) anywhere - specifically what
flags cause what structs to be sent back? I want to get NTLMSSP working
first, and then kerberos should be a drop-in. My plan after that was to
attack the PAC (still managing to have not read the spec, despite several
people mailing links to me... :o)

Regards,
Phil

*Very* good point - I hadn't considered that, thanks. Looks like
we're going to have to be messing with the PAC format much sooner
than I thought.....

Thanks,
