First of all: $r->user doesn't work because you haven't gotten the Apache
request object. To get it in an Apache::Registry script, insert:
my $r = Apache->request;
before your call to $r->user.
Why you aren't getting anything in $ENV{REMOTE_USER} I do not know. It
might be that the environment isn't set up that way in Apache::Registry. Or
maybe Apache::AuthenSmb doesn't set $r->user at all. Are you even nsure the
authentication is working?
