Steve,
That would be great. Please also look at the -L option too, as that
should default to 139 as well. (Sort of... it's not necessary for listing
shares.)
The -p option should override the defaults in any case, though. There are
folks who use port-redirection (for SSH links to the server, etc.).
They'd want -p to be authoritative, rather than just explicit. :)
Thanks!
