There are many more differences between smbclient 3.x and previous versions
(not counting -P).
See:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685
for some of them

Default Log level was 2 before, is 0 now.
I think smbclient need some attention, otherwise many scripts will fail.
