Hi, I'd like to authenticate a PC using it's machine account and the mschap module, without calling ntlm_auth, is this possible?
It depends.
If all of the passwords are in Active Directory, then you have to use ntlm_auth.
I noticed that the machine send its user as "host/machinename" but I don't know how to obtain and check its password.
You should be able to just check the machine credentials. Try it with ntlm_auth. It's a command-line tool that can be used on its own.
Maybe I should check the nt-hashes in users file?
You will need the correct password, and then store that in the "users" file.
If the PC is a member of an Active-Directory domain that approach will be problematic because the domain periodically changes machine passwords. If using ntlm_auth is so issuous that it needs to be avoided another approach would be to use eap-tls with the PC's SSL certificate that was issued by the domain (assuming your AD domain has a CA).
