3.0.21c on RHEL3. I use smbclient to transfer files from Samba to WIN PCs, name resolution is through bcast on local LAN.
The network is not managed by me, all PC's are connected through switches (no routers). Sometimes ago network admins started decreasing the MAC addr table timeout in the switches setting it to 300 secs, this increased dramatically the chances a MAC is not in the switch MAC table, this had some side-effects: - you lose first ping packest (or first 2) when pinging an host whose MAC addr is not in the switch MAC table - smbclient will fail to transfer files since it will immediately exit after failing to estabilish a connection - other apps (ie: telnet) will somehow wait a bit and manage to make the connection at the 1st attempt. So, is there a way to have smbclient wait a bit longer before giving up? I'd like to avoid having to do pings before calling smbclient or calling smbclient multiple times.
