Hi folks,

I'm working for a company that has been using the original Microsoft/Sybase
db-library in their legacy C/C++ applications for many years.

They are now looking to move away from this library as it has not been
supported for some time and has a number of issues with more recent
versions of SQL Server.

As I understand it, the main issue is that the library does not support
NTLMv2 and so they cannot use it to connect to remote SQL Server instances
(only to local instances using Named Pipes).

>From the Github commit history, user guide, and mailing list archives it
seems FreeTDS does support NTLMv2 (and Kerberos) so we were thinking it
might be a suitable replacement.

Before getting too far into it though, I was hoping someone here could
confirm that they've been able to successfully connect to remote SQL Server
2014+ instances using NTLMv2 (from Windows) and Kerberos (from Linux)?

Many thanks,
Leonard
