It seemed that SMB authentication was broken, and also requires a PHP
extension (smbauth) which is not a part of the PHP distro, and is also no
longer available from www.tekrat.com (Webserver has been down for more
than a week).

I have modified the SMB authentication code to work using a local copy of
smbclient.  Currently, it only allows you to authenticate a connection to
the specified domain.   If there's any interest, I may modify it in the
future to authenticate against specific resources (i.e., user must have at
LEAST read privileges of //fileserver/someshare)

The attached patch is actually two patches concatenated together.  The
first is for framework/Auth/Auth/smb.php.  The second is for
horde/config/conf.xml.

Comments and criticism welcome.
