Nope, but they are coded differently; smbclient looks for service name
and password first, and meddles with argc and argv if it finds them
before it calls getopt(). getopt() only sees the arguments after the
service name (and password, if present). See source/client/client.c,
around line 2400.

rpcclient launches into getopt() processing as one of the first things
that it does, then inteprets the first of any remaining arguments left
over as a server name.
