I'll upload the source code within a fewweeks. Currently, it only supports
uid's that are the name of the user + 1000. (I have programmed this module
for school where each student has his/her own unique number. The +1000 has
to prevent student 0 to be root automatically). I'll change this and then
upload the code.

Another thing:
Should samba get support for dynamically loadable authentication modules?
