That's useful to know.  It appears that my worries about
encrypted passwords were groundless.

I understand that Windows users might expect point-and-click
in their Windows environment, but surely BasicLinux users 
will realize they are only going to get a basic CLI client.
After all, in the default BL3 GUI they don't get a fancy
file manager.  Why should they expect a fancy manager for
their Windows connection?

Yes, that sounds like a very useful article.  Do you think
it would be appropriate to add the article to the manpage 
in the smbclient package?

Cheers,
