Libsmbclient - listing workgroups timeout

[Henrik Zagerholm]

Hello list,

We are having trouble with listing workgroups and setting a timeout  
at the same time.
It feels that the open call on "smb://" does not honor the timeout  
setting.
The only thing that affect the time spent searching for workgrousp/ 
domains seems to be to set the options.browse_max_lmb_count.

Is there someway to have a high lmb_count but still be able to set a  
shorter timeout?

Below is a code snipppet from what we are trying to do.

Any input would be appreciated!

Cheers,
henrik

// Initiating context
     SMBCCTX *m_pSambaContext = NULL;

     m_pSambaContext = smbc_new_context();
     if( !(m_pSambaContext) )
        throw "Could not allocate new smbc context";

     m_pSambaContext->debug = 0;
     m_pSambaContext->callbacks.auth_fn = authenticate;

      /* Initialize the context using the previously specified  
options */
      if( !smbc_init_context(m_pSambaContext) )
      {
        smbc_free_context( m_pSambaContext, 1 );
        throw "Could not initialize smbc context";
      }

      static char *pszEmptyString = "";
      if( !m_pSambaContext )
        return pszEmptyString;

    m_pSambaContext->options.browse_max_lmb_count = 3;
    m_pSambaContext->timeout = 100;

    std::string strOpen("smb://");

    std::string strWorkgroups;

    // fd < 0 if error on opendir
    SMBCFILE *dir = m_pSambaContext->opendir( m_pSambaContext,  
strOpen.c_str() ); // <------------ This takes a lot longer time than  
the set timeout
    smbc_dirent *pDirEnt = 0;
    if( dir >= 0 )
    {
        while( pDirEnt = m_pSambaContext->readdir(m_pSambaContext,  
dir) )
        {
            if( strWorkgroups.empty() )
            {
                strWorkgroups = pDirEnt->name;
                continue;
            }

            strWorkgroups += std::string(",") + pDirEnt->name;
        }

        m_pSambaContext->closedir( m_pSambaContext, dir );
    }

    if( m_pszBuffer ) delete[] m_pszBuffer;

    m_pszBuffer = new char[strWorkgroups.length() + 1];
    strcpy(m_pszBuffer, strWorkgroups.c_str());

    // comma separated string
    return m_pszBuffer;
