Dave C-B has previously posted here details of an smbsh redesign that would allow preloading of libsmbwrapper.so to work under Linux in spite of the glibc changes. In fact, it would work better, as his design doesn't require *any* of the current autoconf checks for systems that support dlsym(RTLD_NEXT). That includes Linux, the BSDs, and Solaris, AIUI, and possibly other systems where smbsh is currently used. It's simply a matter of digging in and recoding libsmbwrapper.
