It returns 0 if the users is authenticated successfully and 1 if access was denied. ntlm_auth uses winbind to access the user and authentication data for a domain. This utility is only indended to be used by other programs (currently <ulink url="http://www.squid-cache.org/">Squid</ulink> and <ulink url="http://download.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/lorikeet/trunk/mod_ntlm_winbind/">mod_ntlm_winbind</ulink>) </para> </refsect1> <refsect1> <title>OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS</title> <para> The <citerefentry><refentrytitle>winbindd</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> daemon must be operational for many of these commands to function.</para> <para>Some of these commands also require access to the directory <filename>winbindd_privileged</filename> in <filename>$LOCKDIR</filename>.
