The only issue I would have of using a JNI solution, is that it would work on MS-Windows, but break everywhere else. Being a client, we need to have the flexibility to work no matter the platform. I have a collegue who has PowerBook which he uses on our Windows network, so this is such a user a JNI solution would lock out.

It would definitely be possibly using JNI. It's on my todo list to investigate how this is done but it's a fairly low priority (not a single user has complained yet - presumably because few of our users use NTLM). If you do find out how to do it please do let us know. Regards, Adrian Sutton.
