Oh fellow monks, help this poor wanderer in his quest.

This humble monk operates a large online Perl/CGI/DBI application with a login access. Currently, I am using either stored passwords or NIS to authenticate my flock. Some of my unblessed congregation does not have UNIX access, so I store their passords encrypted in Oracle. This is inconvenient as it means one more password to remember. Everyone has an NT domain account and the some of the evil corporate IT applications (based on Microsoft) somehow authenticate using it. I would like to do this somehow....

Is there a way of doing an NT challenge/response from Perl running on UNIX? What modules might be applicable? Could you just do it with socket communications somehow?
