redirection and smbwrapper

yes, I'm running smbsh (a little shell script I wrote that launches
the whole thing - see the smbwrapper directory).

that might work. hmmm, something like this:

1) wrap dup2() and dup() to catch the file descriptor creation
2) wrap fork() and create environment variables for all open files
   like SMBW_FD_nn=/full/path
3) in the first wrapper call check for a SMBW_FD environment variable
   and if set then open the files specified in the env and dup2() them
   to the right fd

all of this should work, but it's going to be fairly intricate to
implement. I'll think about it some more. Thanks for the idea!
