One very vague idea is to use substitution. E.g. put something like

  include = /usr/local/lib/smb.auth/%S

in global section, and put

  security = user

in these files for non-NT users. It *may* even be possible to use

  security = server
  include = ...

so, that the second will override the first if include file exists. You
will have to do it for every user.
