While I would argue that ntlm_auth in Samba4 is not _completely_ broken,
I'm ready to believe that the helper mode needed for RADIUS auth is.
That's because ntlm_auth4 is a complete rewrite of the tool, and there's
no tests proving that all parts of it work.

An obvious first step would be to make it possible to see if ntlm_auth
works or not without having to go through setting up the whole RADIUS
environment (or pppd, which iirc uses the same ntlm_auth mode).

Such a test script will significantly increase the number of people that
can work on fixing any remaining issues.

Cheers,
Kai
