  34         <para><command>ntlm_auth</command> is a helper utility that authenticates
  35         users using NT/LM authentication. It returns 0 if the users is authenticated
  36         successfully and 1 if access was denied. ntlm_auth uses winbind to access
  37         the user and authentication data for a domain.  This utility
  38         is only indended to be used by other programs (currently squid).
