In the current cifs code (cifs-2.6.git on kernel.org but should be in 
-mm within a few days) ntlmv2 support is working.
There were minor problems with constructing the blob in the older code 
but it was close.  ntlmv2 is supported by windows
and Samba and is more secure authentication than the default ntlm (which 
in turn is more secure than lanman ...)

Requires:
    current cifs code (has not been backported to older kernels yet)
    echo 2 > /proc/fs/cifs/Experimental
    echo 0x4004 > /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags (to turn on "must 
authenticate using ntlmv2")
