I think it is more flexible if some can use different credentials for 
different targets.  Probably it is useful to add a Host(s) field for every 
Credentials which if is set can hold one or more tragets for this 
credentials. This field then should work like the Target(s) field in Targets 
selection (comma separated).
This probably can be done with some nasl and without changing the client.

By now the smb credentials are handled by the logins.nasl script. This is 
working ok.
