Unfortunately mod_ntlm has problems, and the NTLMSSP it implements is
quite basic.  As such, I've brought mod_ntlm_winbindd up to scratch
(which now uses Samba's ntlm_auth, like Squid does):

http://dp.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/lorikeet/trunk/mod_ntlm_winbind/

That is for Apache 1.3, and someday I'll get some time to write an
apache2 version.  Such a task would start with http://source.grep.no/
but if you look at mod_ntlm_winbind, you can see that a lot of stuff can
be cleaned out.
