.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Authen::Smb allows you to authenticate a user against an \s-1NT\s0 domain.  You can
specify both a primary and a backup server to use for authentication.  The
\&\s-1NT\s0 names of the machines should be used for specifying servers.
.PP
An authentication request will return one of four values:
.PP
\&\s-1NTV_NO_ERROR\s0 (0)
\&\s-1NTV_SERVER_ERROR\s0 (1)
\&\s-1NTV_PROTOCOL_ERROR\s0 (2)
\&\s-1NTV_LOGON_ERROR\s0 (3)
.PP
\&\s-1NTV_NO_ERROR\s0 is the only return value possible for a successful authentication.
All other return values indicate failure, of one sort or another.
