My crawler has a couple of stages to it, and by the time it reaches the full-out share crawling stage it already knows everyone's hostname that it's going to crawl. So, I just added a static char * to libsmbclient that holds the name of the current server, and a modifier to change it. Then, in opendir and stat (the only two functions I'm really using) I set server = the static string and voila, everything's A-OK... it's still incredibly speedy, too. I don't know if something like this would be useful enough to actually merge into libsmbclient... even so, it'd take some work to make it not so quick-hack like. :) Let me know what you think.
