Okay, so the docs for 4.14.0 are correct then? There are no new 
deprecations for 4.14 that werent in 4.13 regarding SMB1? Im having 
"client min protocol = NT1" and "ntlm auth = ntlmv1-permitted" in both 
versions and 4.13 works while 4.14 wont...

So it must be a really weird bug in the PHP module (entirely possible!).

Then disregard my ramblings :)
