Programmatic verification of password

Hi all, this is a coding question at a higher level than kernel dev, but I
couldn't
find a suitable developer group - if there's somewhere better I can post,
please tell me.
I have a service that's running as a user that's a member of domain admins
group, which needs to veryify an account password - actually the password of
the account currently running the service, to see if someone has changed it
since the service started.
I've had a go at using LogonUser but it refuses as it says it requires a
right I don't have. I'm suspecting this is the 'act as a part of the
operating system' right, which indeed my user doesn't have. When I grant it
that right, it's then able to use LogonUser to tell if the stored password
is still correct.
However, since I don't want to log on as the user, only verify the password,
having the 'act as a part of the operating system' right seems quite
heavyweight. Is there any other way I can achieve my goal?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Dave
