[Zope] NT User Folder - No Domain support?

[Chris McDonough]

Hmmm.  Please let me know how it works out.  I've done some messing around
with the NetUserChangePassword function to validate the user against a PDC.
That works too.  Whatever.  I'll keep kicking around here.

Actually, I think Toby is right - you should be able to authenticate
against
a domain using this. Using a DC as the "domain" operand shouldn't work
if
this statement is true, but using a domain name that this local machine
belongs to should allow things to work.

We are trying to login to the local machine, only within a particular
domain.
