Yep, although it would be very easy for them
to do if they wanted to. Once I've got the
gss code finished (tomorrow?) I'll write it
up as a spec and encourage the client writers
to comment.

As it's not in a release branch yet I can
play with the design before it gets frozen
by being officially shipped :-). But I think
I can convince people it's the right design
(as it's exactly the same used for kerborized
NFS :-).

Thanks - I'm thinking if Microsoft don't
want to implement this we might be able
to create a "lookback" shim service on
Windows that encrypts the SMB traffic.

Jeremy.
