Re: NSE smbauth library question

[David Matousek <david () matousec com>]

Thank you for the clarification Daniel. I assumed it would be
something like that because the http library connection is
noticable when you really go through all the scripts'
documentation. It might be a good idea not to include these
smbauth script arguments in the documentation of those scripts
that can't really make any use of it and maybe also to explain
this background with those scripts that can benefit from it.

library (http://nmap.org/nsedoc/lib/smbauth.html) might be
a good place for this kind of information.

Have a nice day,

David
