pack 3 to refuse to connect to servers that do not support

No, it does not ignore -N, it is just that your server rejected the
null password in the connection, so smbclient prompts for a password
to try again.

This will set both the username and password to null, which is
an anonymous login for SMB. Using -N would only set the password
to null, and this is not accepted as an anonymous login for most
SMB servers.

Some OSes (notably Linux) default to auto detection of file type on
cdroms and do cr/lf translation. This is a very bad idea when use with
Samba. It causes all sorts of stuff ups.
</p><p>
To overcome this problem use conv=binary when mounting the cdrom
before exporting it with Samba.

-&#8220;
-We are unable to keep individual users from mapping to any other user's
-home directory once they have supplied a valid password! They only need
-to enter their own password. I have not found *any* method that I can
-use to configure samba to enforce that only a user may map their own
-home directory.
-&#8221;
-</p><p>&#8220;
-User xyzzy can map his home directory. Once mapped user xyzzy can also map
-*anyone* elses home directory!
-&#8221;</p><p>
-This is not a security flaw, it is by design. Samba allows
-users to have *exactly* the same access to the UNIX filesystem
-as they would if they were logged onto the UNIX box, except
-that it only allows such views onto the file system as are
-allowed by the defined shares.
-</p><p>
-This means that if your UNIX home directories are set up
-such that one user can happily cd into another users
-directory and do an ls, the UNIX security solution is to
-change the UNIX file permissions on the users home directories
-such that the cd and ls would be denied.
-</p><p>
-Samba tries very hard not to second guess the UNIX administrators
-security policies, and trusts the UNIX admin to set
-the policies and permissions he or she desires.
-</p><p>
-Samba does allow the setup you require when you have set the
-&quot;only user = yes&quot; option on the share, is that you have not set the
-valid users list for the share.
-</p><p>
-Note that only user works in conjunction with the users= list,
-so to get the behavior you require, add the line :
-</p><pre class="programlisting">
-users = %S
-</pre><p>
-this is equivalent to:
-</p><pre class="programlisting">
-valid users = %S
-</pre><p>
-to the definition of the [homes] share, as recommended in
-the smb.conf man page.
