Subject:	Validating NT user passwords

I'm not sure this is the appropriate place to ask this but is there an
easy way to validate a user's password using cygwin in NT?  I know
getpwnam doesn't return the password information, unlike U/Win and
NuTCracker, so how can I accomplish this?  I have a sloppy way that grabs
the password from the SAM database but it'll only work with SP3 and I'd
prefer a more generic approach.

Thanks
Mike
