Hi.
Well, in this case, my opinion is that "bugs" is quite an over-reacting
word. I would have said "unsatisfactory defaults", or "erroneous message".
Anyway, you are perfectly right: smbclient was defaulted with a debug level
of 2, which is bad. I am going to set it to 0.
You are right for the "Control6D/Control-Z" stuff, too. As far as I tested,
the Control-Z key is what the VMS smbclient is waiting for, and it works
correctly when the message to be sent is terminated by Control-Z. So, I am
going to change "Control-D" with "Control-Z" in the message.

Smbclient seems to be compiled with a noisy debug level.
When using it to send a message, it is requesting that the message be
terminated with a Control-D.
For VMS that should be a Control-Z.
The UNIX code is wrong in that it is hardcoded to state Control-D, when
the actual end of file character is configurable in the TERMIFO/TERMCAP
database. The UNIX version should be using a system call to determine
what character to tell the user to use.
Of course that would have to be handled still differently on OpenVMS,
but then it would be likely putting a macro in the config.h file to make
that system call return a control-Z.
