Nope.  no api docs.  But what I would suggest is talking
to Chris Nichols on the samba-technical mailing list about
his libmsrpc work.  The better choice here in my opinion
would be to use the SAMR rpc functions and talk to smbd
directly.  you could also be doing us and the Samba
community a great service to help this mature.

Nope.  But if you follow the line of thinking above, you
might be able to use jCIFS.

Our code is not currently easy to pull parts from.  but if you
choose to follow the passdb API route, then look at the Makefile
for linking pdbedit.





cheers, jerry
