It seems to me that libsmbclient (which is part of samba) is all you really need. Besides avoiding the need for extra dependencies, it's pretty easy to use, especially when wrapped in a gobject, as demonstrated here: http://filebox.vt.edu/users/mmcclinc/smblist/
Of course, libsmbclient also provides everything you need for building a fully functional samba client (or, for that matter, a bare necessities one) without the need for smbfs. It is good to use smbfs where available, but it is also good to support smb without requiring the use of smbfs. >Benedikt > > Matt _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list [email protected] http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
