Read this section:

http://ubiqx.org/cifs/rfc-draft/draft-leach-cifs-v1-spec-02.html#s2.10

..and also grab a copy of the SNIA CIFS document.  The link is on the
jCIFS web page (look through the news).  Both the above link and the SNIA
doc have the 8-byte string ("KGS!@#$%").

Hope that helps a bit.
