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.

Fabian
