Hello,
I just wanted to make sure this is intended.
I have a XBMCbuntu set up. My media is hosted in a NAS for archived stuff and on a mac for newer items, via samba. Their addresses respectively are NAS.myDomain.com & MAC.myDomain.com. Using DNSmasq NAS & MAC resolve as well.
So I was setting up my MAC share. SMB://AdminUserName:AdminUserPassword@MAC. It wasn't working, so after a few other tries I put in the IP address and it worked. Chocked it up to just another screwy XBMC thing, samething happened with NAS. Later I was in terminal and I pinged the MAC. It resolved to MAC.dummy.net
So because XBMC wasn't getting the DNS records from DHCP assigned DNS like I would have expected it was sending (clear text maybe ) my admin username & password over the internets to some random host.

I'm just thinking of the SSH security hole here now. If they had an access.log it'd have my IP address, Admin username & admin password.
Edit: Clarified as per 2nd post.
