[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!
