I don't see the use for an extra header. It's only included in smbget.c
and would only ever make sense to include there. There are also static
variables in there, which should never be in a header.

You also seem to've changed the formatting in some places to be
inconsistent with the rest of Samba. In particular the copyright header.

I'm also not convinced putting the various variables in a global struct
is useful.

This change looks fine mostly and I think it's almost ready to go in.
Any chance you can send a version of this patch that doesn't depend on
the first one?

I'd rather not put the "guest" bit in though, as we define to "" in all
other Samba client utilities and I think we should be consistent.

Cheers,

Jelmer
