[jcifs] new exception thrown in version 1.3.16

[bryan.coleman at dart.biz]

I was able to remove the useExtendedSecurity parameter; however, I still 
needed the lmCompatibility=0 one.

The stack traces are:

P. S.  The link to "Join the JCIFS Mailing List" appears to be broken.  I 
am getting the jcifs messages; however, my posts are being moderated (and 
have not yet been allowed through).

Thank you,

Hi Bryan,

You definitely do not need to set those properties. Those properties
tell JCIFS to use NTLMv1 only. Unless you're using a very very old and
obsolete version of Samba and all of the Windows clients are also
forced to use NTLMv1 only as well (which is not particularly secure),
you should not set those properties. And since you're eventually
getting an SmbAuthException: Logon failure, I would not be shocked to
hear that changing those properties changes the behavior of your error
or fixes it entirely. If the problem is not fixed by removing those
properties, then post the full stack trace of each type of exception.

Mike
