hi,

i'm using "NetUserGetInfo" method to obtain more info about windows users.
As naturally it don't return password knowledge. I need to control an
entered password does match with Windows User's password. Something like;

bool ControlPassword(username,password)

i found a method "LogonUser" and i thought i can use it but later i read
that it needs SE_TCB_NAME privilege ! and only SYSTEM user holds that.

As Brief ;

* I need a WinApi method returns that user is valid or not (username and
password)
  bool ValidUser(username,password)
* Is there a way to use "LogonUser" method ?

thanks for help
