No and yes. jcifs needs NTLM and W2k native mode can have NTLM too. It's not
correct that NTLM or NetBIOS is automatic disabled when you switch your W2k
domain in native mode. 

NTLM depends on NetBIOS and not on native mode. You can disable NTLM in the
"Advanced TCP/IP" Settings (Tab "WINS", NetBIOS setting) on each server.
jcifs will be work if "Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" or "Default" is selected.

Yes, we use jcifs in a W2k Domain (native mode) to edit files on Win2003
server (with dfs). And it works great.

No.
