WinForm Authentication on WinXP

[Guest]

Folks,

Given the function signature: bool VerifyPassword(string uid, string pwd)

How can I program its internals? In other words which APIs or better yet
..Net calls can I use to return the bool value of authentication?

Thanks,
Avi

There is a LogonUser function which takes a name / password and
returns a token on success. The function works best on XP and 2003.

There is some background info here:
