Nope. no api docs. But what I would suggest is talking
to Chris Nichols on the samba-technical mailing list about
his libmsrpc work. The better choice here in my opinion
would be to use the SAMR rpc functions and talk to smbd
directly. you could also be doing us and the Samba
community a great service to help this mature.
Righto, joined that list today...
So, I can't find anything on SAMR rpc on the samba site, is this a very
new bit of the project? Any good resources where I can find out more
about it or is just talking to the samba-tech list first the way to go?

Nope. But if you follow the line of thinking above, you
might be able to use jCIFS.
I have seen jCIFS, although in it's current state it only (AFAICT)
supports the access of remote SMB shares. I haven't yet contacted the
devs to see what else is in the works though or what it would take to add.

Our code is not currently easy to pull parts from. but if you
choose to follow the passdb API route, then look at the Makefile
for linking pdbedit.
Aye, already have been looking at it. One of my other issues at the
moment is the GPL issues. Since the samba project has not been designed
to have bits of it used by other code I need to ensure that whatever I
do won't violate the GPL. The project I'm working on is not OSS at all,
let alone GPL.
