note 62058 added to function.posix-getpwnam

Hello, I've tried another, more easier way to check passwords than checking it to a pop3-server. If you are running a samba-server or a Windows PDC, so you can try to connect with the username/password you want to check to the netlogon of this server: if (exec('echo "exit"|smbclient //server/netlogon -U'.$user.' '.$pass)=="") { ... } If the username/password doesn't match, then the exec-command under LINUX returns an error.
