Samba does this on its own, so maybe you want to do that check for
something else?

If the NT has guest disabled I think you can try
smbclient -L <nt> password -U user
and test the result code, so that you have not to make a connection to a
real resource.

If you know c I think you can do this using pam_smb/pam_ntdom, pam is
supposed to check user/pass and just return ok/ko.
