Either works for me (4-STABLE). Encrypted passwords follow a specific
format (start with $$), so they should be distinguishable from plaintext.

The core issue with smbfs still appears to be that you cannot mount
as user (even with vfs.usermount=1) because installing character set
translation tables (libiconv) only can be done as root.

In other words, you need to place passwords in /etc/nsmb.conf instead
of the user's ~/.nsmbrc.
