libsmbclient size too big for embedded

[Barry Sia]

Hi Christopher, 

No problem.  I'll check out your link.  
Great book, btw.  We have a hard copy and it's our go-to reference for
all things SMB/CIFS.
Really appreciate it.
 
Barry

A few years ago, when I wrote my first CIFS book, I started a small
side-project with the goal of building a compact CIFS client library in
C.
I did not get very far, unfortunately, before other pressures redirected
my
attention and energies.  The NBT piece is fairly complete, but that's
the
only part that I finished (it was easy).  See http://ubiqx.org/libcifs/
for
the remains and cobwebs.  It's LGPL code.

Right now, I am in the first month of a one-year exile from writing any
CIFS
code (see
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/samba-microsoft-cooperate-on-new-s
et-of-smbcifs-docs/4681
for the reason).  It's annoying but necessary.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
