I'm trying to modify an application to use NT/W2K
Authentication to log Users in. I've found some
interesting articles that showed me how to use the
WindowsIdentity and WindowsPrincipal classes to get
information about the current User logged into NT/W2K.

However, I haven't found anything that allows me to
actually authenticate a User. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks, Barry S.
