Actually that's not how I interpreted how authentication is working. I
know from working on jcifs and *many* hours in front of Ethereal/Net
Mon that authenticating a user accessing a share is simply to
send the authenticating domain in the PrimaryDomain field of the
SMB_COM_SESSION_SETUP_ANDX. I _ssume_ that the target server will then
contact the authentication controller(domain controller?) on behalf of the
client and accept or reject the session setup based on it's response. I
do not believe an NT Work Station contacts a third party however I must
admit I never tried an id that differed from the id currently logged
into the target server. So I don't recall seeing the *server* contact
a third party. Mmm, actually I think I have.

At least I know authentication will work without the third party server
information so 'client auth server =' would not be necessary.
