[jcifs] SmbFile: logon to Workgroup PC share fails

Hi Jean-Marc,

You should be able to login using a stand-alone machine using a local
account. The domain is the machine name. It should work. It could be
that the "Login failure" is for something else like domain based DFS.
Perhaps try setting jcifs.smb.client.dfs.disabled = true.
