Re: Problem with connecting to SMB server in 3.9.11 kernel.

yes, this looks like a authentication failure.
It probably is a NetApp server.  Can any other client (e.g. Windows,
smbclient etc.) authenticate using ntlmv2/ntlmssp to this server?

SMB servers do not typically point_out/log what part of the request is
invalid, so it is little harder to figure out how the request is incorrect.
