Hi all,

The cifs client is once again under active development as we
have begun our switch over from Novell; This also means ncpfs
will start to decay.

I will make silent updates to /n/sources/contrib/steve/cifs.tar.bz2
unless its somthing very significant, the state of play is roughly:

• NTLMv2 now works
• some error strings are different which confuses APE code (eg cvs).
• message signing still doesn't work - the code is done but it faulty.
• DFS support is stalled due to a lack of doctmentation.
• Only RAP supported (no RPC) thus:
        • we cannot see shares with names > 12 chars
        • File ownerships are not resolved (very slow anyway)

If anyone has any problems please mail me.

-Steve
