I've gone ahead and added this as a new driver (smbclient), since it's 
nice to have a non-extension implementation. Also the extension's site 
is back, and I've updated the link for it.

Are you going to update the patch?

Since some people might still have that extension installed, and the 
site might come back one day too, I suggest that you make the 
smbclient parameter optional and still use the smbauth extension (if 
it is available), it the client is not provided.

OOps ... Sorry.  It's attached this time.

There is no patch attached.

It seemed that SMB authentication was broken, and also requires a PHP 
extension (smbauth) which is not a part of the PHP distro, and is also 
no longer available from www.tekrat.com (Webserver has been down for 
more than a week).



I have modified the SMB authentication code to work using a local copy 
of smbclient.  Currently, it only allows you to authenticate a 
connection to the specified domain.   If there's any interest, I may 
modify it in the future to authenticate against specific resources 
(i.e., user must have at LEAST read privileges of 
//fileserver/someshare)



The attached patch is actually two patches concatenated together.  The 
first is for framework/Auth/Auth/smb.php.  The second is for 
horde/config/conf.xml.



Comments and criticism welcome.
