[linux-cifs-client] cifs honor client <option> parameter in smb.conf

[Suresh Jayaraman]

Hi all,

Wondering whether cifs vfs client is supposed to honor or attempt to
honor the client specific parameters in smb.conf. For e.g. an config
entry such as:

   client plaintext auth

Currently, it seems with the above parameter in smb.conf, a cifs client
won't be able to mount successfully with plaintext auth and will result
in -EPERM error. Adjusting the SecurityFlags will allow the user to
mount, though, but in that case the smb.conf entry is being ignored?


Thanks,
