I believe Eric did explore this a little and at one point posted some code. But I
don't believe it was "serious" and he never mentioned it again.

I know wedgetail.com has done a lot of work in the area of SSO including SPNEGO
(although I believe they actually use jCIFS code for one reason or another).

Personally I've never even looked at it. Eric figured out all the NTLM details.
