the summary:
ntlm_auth and winbindd are appropriate for Wine.
due to the fact that samba cannot run on a Win32 platform, neither of
those two programs are appropriate.
it is therefore much more appropriate to implement the same
stuff that's in NT _for_ ReactOS, and the closest bit of
code to that is cli_nt_login_interactive (or similar), as
MSRPC-based APIs.
