[jcifs] Domain Controllers

[Jason Bainbridge]

See this thread:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/jcifs/2004-October/004174.html

You want to do something like:

UniAddress dc = new UniAddress( NbtAddress.getByName( domain, 0x1c, null
));
	SmbSession.logon( dc, new NtlmPasswordAuthentication( domain, username,
password );
