I looked into python-ldap, it supports ldap authentication. But I
didn't find anything that support local system account authentication
when no LDAP both in windows and Linux.

Ond more thing, somebody suggested me to use PAM. Is it a good choice
and whether it supports both Windows and Linux? Please let me know
which is best to use.
