smbclient using all interfaces

[Nicolas Williams]

Well, there are ways to find out the interface through which a broadcast
UDP packet was received as well as the UDP packet's destination IP
address. These may not be portable however. On systems with BSD-style
socket APIs look for the sendmsg(2) system call (library function on
Solaris 2.x).
