Thank you all for you time and efforts. I tried the LogonUser function at
home on Windows 2000 and it worked great. But, when I came into work...well,
I did not get the same results. I get the following error, even when trying
to validate against my local windows nt 4.0 box.
api_error: (1314, 'LogonUser', ' A required privilege is not held by the
client.')
Thanks for your help in advance.
-Chris

You should check out the win32 API function called "LogonUser" - this has
special flags to do exactly what you want - not perform a "real" logon, but
simply validate the credentials.
This function is exposed in the Python module win32security. You wont find
many docs on it in Python, as it is a simple wrapper of the Windows
function. "Python Programming on Win32" does discuss this in a little more
detail.
This subject has also come up on the newsgroup (as most have!) over the last
few years - a deja search may be useful.
Mark.
