[pptp-server] Authenticate against NT PDC?

[Michael St. Laurent]

Perhaps looking at the code from winbind would help?

ftp://us2.samba.org/pub/samba/appliance/samba-appliance-0.5-src.tar.gz

There also a paper in PDF format about winbind written by the author:

ftp://us2.samba.org/pub/samba/appliance/winbind.pdf

or in tex format:
