Problem with getopt() in rpcclient.c

[Woodrich, Jason D (Jason)]

Andrew,
I made an attempt at what you suggested (converting rpcclient.c to use
popt).  I found that it's still returning -1 once it gets to the while
loop (using poptGetNextOpt in this case).  Do you know if this getopt
bug is limited to samba or if it is something that affects anything on
Solaris 2.6/SPARC using getopt()?  Or would you have any additional
suggestions?

Thanks,

Did I miss the 'today is rpcclient getopt() day' or somthing?  See my
reply to the similar message on samba at samba.org:  That is, getopt() may
well be broken, and a patch to convert rpcclient to popt would go down
very nicely.  (Popt is much nicer to work with, and still works when the
first argument doesn't have a - on it, or so I understand).

Send patches to samba-patches at samba.org (instructions at
samba.org/samba-patches) and I hope someone else on the team will be
able to pick it up.
