[jcifs] Occasionally NTLM Filter fails...Please Help.

[shivsn]

Thanks. no problem. I will try to take a look at the code as well to get some
understanding.

However, has anybody else in this forum tried out working only with
jcifs.smb.client.domain property and see any issues/risks please?

Thanks,
Shiv.
