chris,

if you add your program into the samba source tree this will not be a
problem.

alternatively, i recommend using clientgen.c if that is not acceptable,
and cut / paste clientgen.c over as-and-when you need it.

i don't know anything about smbmount.

andrew, please can we start smb-clients at samba.org?
