Ugh, I'll have to rebuild a new kernel. By now I was hoping it was
actually a bug in smbd. ;)

I'll try it (it looks like a reverse patch, though) and let you know.

I set LMCompatibilityLevel to 2. The traffic doesn't look exactly the
same as cifsfs', because XP wraps everything in NTLMSSP requests, but
deep inside there I see both responses, 24 bytes each, with the same,
exact value. And smbd happily forwards *both* to the password server. So
I guess cifsfs was at fault.

If LMCompatibilityLevel is set to 0, the two responses are different.
