[jcifs] Using Kerberos authentication

Does anyone know if it is possible to use Davenport with Kerberos
Authentication? To connect to the windows file server on campus with
smbclient, basically I run 'kinit' first and am prompted for my
password in our MIT Kerberos Realm. I then run "smbclient -k" and am
immediately connected to the share.
A little background... My windows domain password is unknown. Trust
has been established between the MIT Kerberos Realm and the Active
Directory on campus. On each windows client we run "ksetup /mapuser *
*" to map the users between domains, so when I log in interactively as
Username at KerberosRealm, it doesn't matter that the
Username at ActiveDirectory password is unknown to everyone (this is to
achieve single sign-on).
Thanks!
