I am supplying nul credentials in most of the ways you've suggested plus
the use of empty strings in my jcifs.prp file.  What I'm seeing on the
wire is that jCIFS is logging in successfully with anonymous
credentials--twice!  It then closes the TCP connection.  Huh?  :)

I can send along a trace and a log dump.  Easy enough to replicate, 
though.

Note that I am specifically avoiding giving jCIFS any credentials to use.  
If I use a .prp file, it has:

jcifs.smb.client.domain =
jcifs.smb.client.username =
jcifs.smb.client.password =
jcifs.netbios.baddr = 192.168.101.255

In most tests I'm leaving the .prp file out and just using raw defaults.

I've tried "smb://", "smb://:@/", and "smb://;:@/", all with the same 
results.
