All the rest worked fine.
OK, you need to initialize your workgroup to something in ~/.smb/smb.conf, and then it will list workgroups. At least that is how it works at the moment in head. This restriction could be lifted, but would require two changes: 1. The code that gets unhappy if smb.conf fails to load will need to change. 2. If a master browser for workgroup cannot be found, then we could do a name status query on the local node, which is not guaranteed to work, or we could prompt for a name. > - I then tried 3.0 alpha 20.

I will have a look at what is wrong in head and see what needs fixing and then commit some code. > What's the current status of libsmbclient development ? > Is there anything i can do to help solving these problems? > > [I thought of writing a complete benchmark test program for the > lib could be usefull to easily detect regressions...it could the > first thing i can do.] > > > -- Regards ----- Richard Sharpe, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.richardsharpe.com
