Authen::Smb - Perl extension to authenticate against an SMB server

       Patrick Michael Kane, modus@pr.es.to Based on the smbval library from the samba package

       Authen::Smb allows you to authenticate a user against an NT domain.  You can specify both a primary and a
       backup server to use for authentication.  The NT names of the machines should be used for specifying
       servers.

       An authentication request will return one of four values:

       NTV_NO_ERROR (0) NTV_SERVER_ERROR (1) NTV_PROTOCOL_ERROR (2) NTV_LOGON_ERROR (3)

       NTV_NO_ERROR is the only return value possible for a successful authentication.  All other return values
       indicate failure, of one sort or another.

         NTV_LOGON_ERROR
         NTV_NO_ERROR
         NTV_PROTOCOL_ERROR
         NTV_SERVER_ERROR
