Description Bastien Nocera 2003-10-30 08:35:16 UTC 
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.
Comment 1 Jelmer Vernooij 2004-01-06 12:07:49 UTC 
This can also be done by setting the appropriate smb.conf option in ~/.smb.conf.

apparently there is a workaround

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.

The gnome-vfs bug was closed with wontfix too...
