We could write an auth plugin to do it, certainly.  We still need part
of the LM hash for some of the password change stuff, but that was one
of the ideas behind the auth subsystem.

To act as a DC however, we need to be able to specify the challenge and
response, as you note.  I'm not sure it gains us anything, but we
certainly could do it.
