You assume you mean the NTLM (NT LanManager) authentication scheme[1]  (NTPL 
is kernel threading stuff)?

In this case: no, not yet. I spoke to the SAMBA guys and it seems possible to 
integrate NTLM as an authentication scheme throughout KIO, KDE's IO 
subsystem. However, we are currently in deep freeze for KDE 3.2, so even if 
somebody wrote a patch (which we would appreciate :), it wouldn't get 
unfrozen before KDE 3.2 is tagged and the CVS is open for feature commits 
again. See bug #58356 for the current status of this wishlist item.
