[Samba] Single sign on with SambaPDC and web server

[Nathan Vidican]

You could always look at, and/or use the code from
msnt_auth program, (we use it for squid process to authenticate), if anything - 
it at least matches the password hashing algorithm, been working here now for a 
couple of years for us.

Just a thought anyhow.
