10.4: Accessing older SMB servers
Authored by: JWells on Aug 01, '05 04:44:51PM
Okay, so here's the question that I can't seem to get answered:

If I set minauth=none does that mean that I will always send in cleartext, or only when encrypted passwords are not supported?

In 10.3 I seem to remember a warning in the authentication dialog. Something to the effect of, "WARNING: Your password will be sent to this server as plain text which may be viewable by others on your network." Am I still going to get this, or is it just always going to be sent in cleartext?
