This is easier than trying to get IT to change the authenication scheme on the server installation (especially if there are only 2 Macs on the network).

But they do NOT support the ability to hit hidden shares. So if you have a share that is called, say:
cifs://fileserver1/groups$/engineering, you can't mount it with Tiger's SMB client, NOR can you access it with Dave.
I'd gladly reach into my pockets and peel out a debit card if someone could make something to let me do that. It is the single reason I have a PC on my desk at work. That, and to change the domain password now and then.

You'd probly get more info from Thursby Support, though...

I purchased Dave and was able to login and reach file shares etc with no problem. BUT after upgrading to Tiger Dave 5.X would no longer work. I need to wait until they sent out patch etc. It turned out Thurbys
would not let me upgrade to 6.x unless I bought the upgrade. No new upgrade from 5.X even though I only brought it 9 months ago no upgrades what a rip off.
