It would be nice to have in the auth_fn callback the way the password is going to be sent as, ie. either encrypted or plain text.
This can also be done by setting the appropriate smb.conf option in ~/.smb.conf.
apparently there is a workaround
(In reply to comment #1) > This can also be done by setting the appropriate smb.conf option in > ~/.smb.conf. That doesn't actually tell me whether the password will be sent as encrypted or not, it will force one type or the other of passwords.
This is still relevant.
