forgive me if this is old news but it seems to me that smbclient is prone to getting into an infinite loop when mget'ting a stack of files.
I have tested (compiled from source with defaults)
samba versions 3.0.10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 14a
Versions prior to 3.0.13 are fine, in my environment, versions 3.0.13 and later are causing the problem.
The basic data on my system is
-a P4 3.2 Ghz, 512 Ram, Slakware 10, Intel Etherexpress Pro Nic. this server is very lightly loaded. -The client is a NT4 with SP6a, with a 100 day uptime habit (i.e. really reliable). It is the current file server and is
backed up daily with smbclient.
I had client problems with Win98 clients with samba v3.0.10,11 and 12 during this testing, but I have a stable situation with samba v3.0.7 where both smbclient as well as the Win98/XP Pro clients work fine.
I can provide packet captures of the infinite loop if needed.
Whilst I can't corroborate the exact symptoms you describe, I can confirm that on my test server (Red Hat RHEL3 update 3) using smbclient to connect to the C$ (root) share of an XP Prof workstation with 1.8GB files:
Using Samba 3.0.11, "dir" immediately returns all files and folders;
Using 3.0.14 "dir" hangs and never returns anything. Connecting to a share of smaller size works normally.
Drat, I installed 3.0.14 on the test rig yesterday and everything else works fine. Now I've reverted to 3.0.11.
3.0.11 is being run in production at a site with 75+ Win 2000 workstations, RHEL3 Update 4, I administer and gives no problems with anything.
Best,
