I don't know. They know 3.2.x works. I'm not sure how much the
customer (actually the customer's customer) really cares. I think if
the server was really that important they would probably have more
current versions of things.

It doesn't really matter. I don't see them having me add SPNEGO to
JCIFS just to support a version of Samba that doesn't appear to be
used a whole lot.

Thanks,
Mike
