            Bug ID: 240459
           Summary: mount_smbfs man page should say that it only supports
                    SMB1
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sean at rogue-research.com

FreeBSD's mount_smbfs apparently supports only SMB1 and no newer version of the
protocol.

By now (2019) SMB1 is horribly insecure and disabled by default on Windows,
macOS, FreeNAS, etc.

As such, mount_smbfs is basically useless as it can't connect to any properly
maintained server.  I can only assume mount_smbfs has no maintainer.  :(


Anyway, can the man page at least be updated to say that it only supports SMB1
?  Hopefully that will save people like me time determining why they can't
connect to anything.
