[cifs-protocol] NTLMSSP_AUTH

[Joseph Kuan]

Hi all,

  I used ethereal to dissect some pass though authentication and I 
notice inside the NTLMSSP_AUTH, the User name is set to NULL. Is that 
normal?

If the username is set to NULL, then how the server knows which password 
to hash and match the response?

Many thanks
Joe
