smblib outdated?

[Yimin Chen]

We are currently using smblib to do NTLM authentication for http requests. 
But smblib is outdated, so I would like to evaluate whether we should 
upgrade to recent library version provided by Samba.

Is ntlm_auth part of the samba source? Or it is a separate library that I 
could download from somewhere else?

Thanks,
Yimin
