I just tried it from the Fortigate and I get the 691 but in the debug I got
this

(1) mschap:    -->
--nt-response=e3535a27f4f9c6022123dd094e46fc9e3fcc3b4444859367
(1) mschap: ERROR: Program returned code (1) and output 'Reading winbind
reply failed! (0xc0000001)'
(1) mschap: ERROR: Reading winbind reply failed! (0xc0000001)

I did notice that when I use NTLM_AUTH a successful response is simply

:     (0x0)

a failed response is

NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD: When trying to update a password, this return
status indicates that the value provided as the current password is not
correct. (0xc000006a)

The initial guide I used before from networkradius.com which I suspect is
just yours with their logo and the odd edit it talks about (NT_STATUS_OK) -
Is this my problem that my version of NTLM_AUTH is not returning the
correct response?
