Hi,
while working on printing support for NX (www.nomachine.com) I stumbled
across a problem I could not solve without a patch.
NX is a terminal server (with very efficient X-protocol compression) and to
allow easy file sharing with the local machine samba is used. For NX the
NX-Client does forward the samba / windows port 139 to some port on the
remote machine. As smbmount does allow a port parameter, easy file sharing
and mounting is already possible.
So it is necessary for NX that smbspool parses the port parameter. I also
opened a bugzilla-entry with a proposed patch:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1405
I myself am Knoppix co-developer and we have the NX-client on it since version
3.4.
