Fwd: [PATCH] cifs: Fix broken sec=ntlmv2/i sec mount option for Samba server

[Christopher R. Hertel]

The official explanation of what actually goes in those blobs and how the
information is handled wasn't available until roughly 2 years ago, and it's
buried in dense verbiage.  My guess is that no one has had time nor cause to
review NTLMv2 blob handling--which is now somewhat outdated--since the
documentation finally became available.

Note also that Microsoft uses very different terminology than we do.  I
think most of the names we use are from the work Eric Glass did as part of
Davenport (which is still cited as expert information).

Microsoft (Obaid) has posted two blog entries, the first of which is a
mapping from Eric's :
