You should check out the win32 API function called "LogonUser" - this has
special flags to do exactly what you want - not perform a "real" logon, but
simply validate the credentials.
This function is exposed in the Python module win32security. You wont find
many docs on it in Python, as it is a simple wrapper of the Windows
function. "Python Programming on Win32" does discuss this in a little more
detail.
This subject has also come up on the newsgroup (as most have!) over the last
few years - a deja search may be useful.
