Looks good. It's going to be a while before I can seriously look at this,
let alone integrate it, but clearly it will save me quite a bit of work.
Thanks. Also you may have noticed that I recently released new versions of
midlc and jarapac that properly support LsarLookupSids.

Hmm, well NT doesn't support port 445. So NT RPCs do not work with Netapp at
all?

It is true. But the "RAW" protocol communication on port 445 is basically
identical to port 139 without the NetBIOS session establishment messages.
It's just that supporting BOTH port 445 and 139 requires a bit of finesse
that I didn't quite possess during the last development iteration. It should
not be difficult to build a jcifs version that supports port 445 and  NOT
139 by simply replacing NbtSocket in SmbTranport with a regulat Socket and
making the default port in jcifs.smb.Handler 445.
