I do not have it yet(in fact..i have a tiny one, but it's a 5 
minutes program...not really useful for anybody except me).
But i can write it tomorrow.
I think of something that would
1- probe for the existing workgroups
2- try to list machines in a workgroup
3- try to connect to a machine and then do 
browse/read/write/whatever needs to be done for file operations

All this beeing done automagically for easy testing, with 
switches for :
-forcing a network
-forcing a machine
-forcing a share
-forcing a directory
-forcing a file
-forcing user-passwd

And then it would print a report to the console (optionnally to a 
file), listing the kind of test, the result (if failed the error 
code, and the libsmbclient function called with its args)

Is it something that could be useful for you?

Best Regards.

Fabien.
