smb password authentication

[Stephan Richter]

I am looking for a python module which will authenticate 
a user with the smb port. I found a perl script which will 
do it, but since I am not a fan of perl, I rather use python.

before i will start converting their code, I wanted to ask you
guys if there is something like that for python?

thanks,
stephan
