Bug in smbclient

[Steve]

Yeah that guy is right. I wouldn't go into his drive neither. 

But on the other hand...  just leave him and few directories on his drive
and make the dir name a message to him saying "Unshare your drives"
or something like "You have a virus, Remove it".

Thats much simpler than find his email address.
