[jcifs] NTLMv2 Authentication doesnt work

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Correct in general, except that jCIFS won't pay attention to Windows 
client registry settings.  :)

I think Mike is the one to speak to this, but I seem to recall that jCIFS
does not support NTLMv2 authentication yet.  It supports LMv2, which is a
simplified version of NTLMv2.
