For anyone using cifs on plan9.

MS appear to have changed somthing in the ntlmv2 auth protocol
that cifs uses by default which means aux/cifs will not connect
to Vista machines (and windows 7 boxes I assume).

cifs will connect using ntlm auth (i.e. ntlm v1) which is less secure
but still reasonable - if you are using it over the internet sewer
then ssh may keep your feet clean.

ntlm is selected using the -a option to cifs:

	aux/cifs -a ntlm VistMachine
