[linux-cifs-client] Re: [PATCH] clean legacy cruft out of connect.c

[Steve French]

Jeff,
I didn't merge this since patch 9 code path looks wrong when

   pSesInfo->server->maxBuf != 0

In that case (reconnect) then session setup
      rc = CIFS_SessSetup(xid, pSesInfo, first_time, nls_info);
would not have been called with your patch

when maxBuf is zero we know sending a negotiate protocol is needed
(and also sessionsetup) but when we know that we have
already negotiated and don't need to resend negprot we
still need to send a sessionsetup

Although it doesn't really matter (as you note it is disabled until the user
turns on the experimental flag)  - I would rather wait on removing the
NTLMSSP implementation
when we readd a better one based on the documentation - since some
servers may require
NTLMSSP and it is not something we should have to upcall to do

Thanks,

Steve
