Yes, and this is enough reason to remove -A. I've more than once run into
folks who did this. As soon as that user changed his password, it was all
over. Perhaps changing it to a different letter would be ok, if you're
really set on a short version (though there are other wbinfo options that
don't). It was a mistake for me to have put in the -A to begin with. I
should have used a different letter. But now is the time to get rid of it,
or we'll be seeing a lot more "me too"s on this.
