Sorry - I object.

The problem is that we have a user interface expectation that this
works.  We would have to remove all the share enumeration from
'smbclient' if we do this.  As a very strong rule we don't change
command line behaviour etc of our utilities, so why for an issue only of
linker size do we need to do this?

Why should our users have to care if the call was made over RAP or RPC?
