It does if you want to open the named pipe. That was the initial motivation
for these changes.

It's a credentials cache name.

At Likewise, we needed to provide named pipe support for our dcerpc
environment. It means adding named pipe open/read/write/close operations
to libsmbclient, so that we can do an rpc bind via named pipe. Accessing
the session key from smb layer is necessary to be able to do crypto operations
in certain rpc calls (like SamrSetUserInfo).
