I am a Python and Samba novice, but it appears that samba.auth is overshadowing samba.dcerpc.auth, or vice-versa. When I run python interactively, I can import both modules, but I only see the attributes for the first module imported - i.e. if samba.auth is imported prior to samba.dcerpc.auth, a dir of samba.dcerpc.auth will return samba.auth attributes, which presumably causes the AttributeError.

Oooh oooh oooh ! Can you post the code changes you
needed to do the port please ?

I'm excited :-).
