Symptom
smbclient -L hostname -U user%password
works fine, BUT
USER=user%password
smbclient -L hostname
fails unless GUEST access is OK
Reason
when getting user ( and password ) from variables the flag
explicit_user=True;
should be set and isn't ( in both USER and LOGNAME ) otherwise username is nulled out
by the -L option in the command line switch ladder. setting username explicitly
should include setting it in environment shouldn't it?
Only a "ley" hacker, so needs checking by samba brethren but putting it in works for me :-)
please correct me if mistaken.
