None. Do not use smblib. If you want to verify a password against Windows, use winbindd and pam_winbind or ntlm_auth (new in 3.0 alpha). smblib has had a number of issues over the years, and I understand that the authentication is usually just LM based (case-insensitive). More particularly, there is no way for it to tell if it's actually talking to the DC.
