[Samba] Samba+MySQL+Apache Authentication = possible?

[(C)ollen]

Hmm, must be do-able,

there are several modules for apache available.
mod_ntlm for example.. lets you authenticate against a PDC (pref. samba)
nomather what backend you use.

there are also some PAM modules around, so you can setup apache to use 
PAM for authentication, and then you let PAM use the PDC.

just google around...
