Description Noël Köthe 2005-10-17 13:11:56 UTC
Hello,

this is a feature request.:)

smbclient supports the enviroment variables $PASSWD or $USER
smbclient(1):
--8<--
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       The  variable  USER may contain the username of the person using the
client. This informa&#8208;
       tion is used only if the protocol level is high enough to support
session-level passwords.

       The variable PASSWD may contain the password of the person using the
client. This informa&#8208;
       tion is used only if the protocol level is high enough to support
session-level passwords.
--8<--

Is it possible to get this feature into smbcacls?

Thank you.

I fixed this when I converted smbcacls to use POPT_COMMON_CREDENTIALS in samba 3.
