$test->smbclient = "/usr/bin/smbclient"; #default is "/usr/bin/smbclient"
$test->username = "guest";
$test->password = "dontlook";

if($test->authenticate() != 0){
echo "Invalid Authentication";
}else{
echo "Authenticated";
}
*/

class smb_auth {

var $host;
var $username;
var $password;
var $smbclient = "/usr/bin/smbclient";

function smb_auth()
{
return 0;
}

function authenticate()
{
/* Make sure smbclient path is correct */
if(!is_executable($this->smbclient)){
die("Error: '$this->smbclient' invalid smbclient path");
}

/* create the shell script */
$script = "$this->smbclient //$this->host/IPC$ $this->password "
."-U $this->username -c 'quit' > /dev/null 2>&1";

$stuff = system ($script,$result);

return $result;
