Hi Pascal,
Thank you for making a port for susmb.
I initially forked usmb because I noticed some performance issues. There was
also an issue in non-interactive mode where it still tried to read the
passphrase when mounting a network share.
Note that susmb might not have the exact same features or goals as usmb. For
example I intentionally merged the code in one file and removed some
abstractions to make it more readable (in my opinion).
I'm happy to make a release version if it helps you. Please let me know.
Small patches and improvements are welcome.
For example the privdrop code could be improved further.
