dns lookup is performed - well, get_myname() is a bit stupid. There is also this interesting fact - smbfs_init() retrieves the hostname but it actually serves no purpose, it is not used anywhere in the code.
This is not entirely true. It appears the retrieved hostname is used in a printf like function which process format strings and expands them. This feature is used while reading the samba configuration file. I cannot tell right now whether it is important to have the hostname set.
I see several solutions to this problem: 1) The user arranges for her/his network setup to be correct 2) We fix get_myname() so that it won't perform lookups except when asked to do so 3) We remove the call to get_myname() from smbfs_init()
3 won't be an option if it turns out that it is important to have the hostname set. So it must be either 1 or 2. _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
