exUserFolder <http://www.zope.org/Members/TheJester/exUserFolder>'s 
smbAuthSource support will take you one step closer, and is actually 
maintained, as opposed to smbAuthSource.  It has pure Python SMB support 
so it will work everywhere; we're using it on Solaris here.  If you have 
questions on exUserFolder, take them to the 
exuserfolder-users@lists.sourceforge.net list.

Automatic login is something that I think is one of those top-seekrit 
Microsoft "embrace and extend" things.  Our M$ proxy server can do it 
here if you're logged into the domain and using IE, but I have no idea 
how the heck it works.  I suppose someday I could sniff the bugger and 
see what's actually going on.  I suspect it needs an implementation of 
LAN Manager hashing.
