Due to reasons that you do not control, you might not have the possibility to make things “the right way TM” and are going for an alternate solutiuon.

This applies to all kinds of things but it brings up the question: “Who is to decide things are so wrong you should not be able to do them?”

Honestly I do not know what is a good idea or not, to force or not to force, but it sometimes indeed is rather annoying like right now when I had to compile my own version of smbmount as plaintext password authentication was disabled and not possible to enable via /proc/fs/cifs/SecurityFlags.

Regarding the post title, “Protect me from what I want” is a great song by Placebo!
