This is just a guess but I would try to just get the javax.net.ssl
package (JSSE) from Sun and copy jcifs/netbios/NbtSocket.java to
jcifs/netbios/SSLNbtSocket.java but make it extent javax.net.ssl.SSLSocket
instead of plain java.net.Socket. Then add a property like
jcifs.smb.client.useSSL=true/false and have that switch the Socket type on
line 237 of jcifs/smb/SmbTransport.java (you can just change all instances
of NbtSocket to just Socket to make the code generic). Provided you get
all the certificates worked out and all that crap, that's it! Easy :~)
