There is no public logoff() method because transports (and all sessions
over them) automatically close after jcifs.smb.client.soTimeout and I have
otherwise failed to identify an instance where logoff() would be useful.
Sessions are shared internally so opening and closing a connection to the
target frequently would only create unnecessary overhead.

conceptually similar and, more  important, to tasks that have not
