Is there an ntlm_auth API?

I can authenticate Active Directory credentials with

Code:

ntlm_auth --username=user --password=password

Is there an api function I can use from C to do this? My less attractive alternative is the have the C program create a command string as

Code:

CMD: /usr/bin/ntlm_auth --username="%s" --password='%s' 2>&1 > /dev/null

Then call system(commandString);

That's not terrible, but I'm wondering if there is a library function to do this more elegantly.

What's wrong with Samba?

You'll need to elaborate a bit. What do you mean? Perhaps I'm not being clear. I'd like to have a function callable from C.
