Right now, sec=none option, will prompt you for a password.
And when we add code to retry session setup as anonymous user if the
first session setup request
fails, should that retry request be sent with the password or without
password?
When smbfs sends requests as an anonymous user, it does not send a
password along with it.

We should allow a password to be specified (presumably it is not common
for a server to have a password associated with a null user),
but probably not prompt (similar to "guest" - except for the case of
guest, we start with the username of uid of current process, and
only if it fails with access denied do we try "user=" (or equivalently
sec=none))
