default configuration. This adds an extra field to the SMB header
containing the truncated 64-bit MD5 digest of a key (a function of the
user's password and the server's authentication challenge), an implicit

imposes a significant performance penalty, we only enable it if the
server will not let us connect without it; this should eventually become
an option to mount_smbfs.
