smbpasswd is a Samba private file. We've (in the past) changed the format (although we don't tend to use it much now we have tdb and LDAP backends). Can't you use ntlm_auth to do the authentication, and go via Samba smbd itself ? That would be the most portable and forward supported method of doing things ?
