Re: smb:// in nautilus sends unencrypted passwords

Samba configures this setting on a per-machine basis in smb.conf. Check out the "encrypt passwords" setting, and the "domain" related settings, at least, this was the case for 2.x. Don't have a 3.0 set of man pages handy ATM.

I suspect the general idea is that it's good enough on the assumption that a single machine trusts a single domain controller, and you don't need per-user or per-share configurability. Not sure if that assumption holds for laptops or other mobile computers, but you probably don't care.
