Security preferences with Samba 2.0.5

I'll leave the first question to someone else.

smbmount is an optional tool (you can only use it with Linux). Ask for
it during configuration, e.g.

# ./configure --with-smbmount

The usage of smbmount has changed (but man-page and README-smbmount haven't):

# ./smbmount -h
Usage: smbmount //server/share mountpoint [options ...]
Version 2.0.5a
        -d debuglevel         set the debuglevel
        -n netbios name.      Use this name as my netbios name
        -N                    don't ask for a password
        -I dest IP            use this IP to connect to
        -E                    write messages to stderr instead of stdout
        -U username           set the network username
        -W workgroup          set the workgroup name
        -t terminal code      terminal i/o code {sjis|euc|jis7|jis8|junet|hex}

As you see, the -c option is no longer there. The mountpoint is now
(once again) the second argument.
