Someone is working on something, but I am not sure I am allowed to say what?

The code currently reads $HOME/.smb/smb.conf, but I intend to initiate some
discussion on this today.

Yes, I need to test against NT to ensure that things work OK. I think what
happens is that it tries with NULL credentials, and if that fails, it calls
the auth_fn defined in smbc_init, but I hard coded the answers to test and
test, which will probably not work on your system. 

I need to implement a dialog box to get the username and password when
authentication is required.

Hmmm, OK, will have to look at that. Is it possible to get me:

1. A capture of the network traffic
2. A listing of the answers?
