The patch is trivial and requires similar handling as the blank password option. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cifs/5762 Sachin Prabhu -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
