cifs honor client <option> parameter in smb.conf

Hi all,

Wondering whether cifs vfs client is supposed to honor or attempt to
honor the client specific parameters in smb.conf. For e.g. an config
entry such as:

   client plaintext auth

Currently, it seems with the above parameter in smb.conf, a cifs client
won't be able to mount successfully with plaintext auth and will result
in -EPERM error. Adjusting the SecurityFlags will allow the user to
mount, though, but in that case the smb.conf entry is being ignored?


Thanks,
