Package: smbclient
Version: 2:4.9.5+dfsg-5+deb10u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I copied a script containing the recurse ON command. Instead of removing it I
changed it to
recurse OFF. To my surprise this didn't switch off the recursion. Only after
removing the
recurse OFF command did the recursion on the dir command stop. An explicit
recurse ON;recurse OFF
also worked. This behavior is unexpected and may confuse an unaware user who
copies a script
and modifies it.
I tested it on another system with smbclient version 4.11.6-Ubuntu and this bug
is still there.

I don't know where this script comes from and where did you found how to use the
"recurse"
command.
smbclient ...
smb: \> help recurse
HELP recurse:
toggle directory recursion for mget and mput
it does not care about the argument at all. It *toggles* recursion. It is off
by default,
first "recurse" makes it on, second "recurse" makes off again.
Yes it is probably sub-optimal user interface, but there's no "recurse OFF" or
"recurse ON".
There's just 'recurse'.
Closing this bugreport now.
Thanks,
/mjt
