A +number of options were requiring to specify values in one tool and not in the +other, some options meant different in different tools. + +These should be stories of the past now. A new command line parser has been +implemented with sanity checking. Also the command line interface has been +simplified and provides better control for encryption, singing and kerberos. + +Also several command line options have a smb.conf variable to control the +default now. + +All tools are logging to stderr by default.
