[Samba] libsmbclient problem

[Philipp Janda]

Hi *,

I have a problem (configuration problem probably) using the libsmbclient 
library (samba 2.2.6/7).

I use a small c program to open directories (workgroups and servers) and 
list the contents of these dirs.
I have two samba servers int the network. The first is everything-master 
and wins server, the second is nothing like that. The program works fine 
if I run it on the first server (using the /etc/smb.conf) but it doesn't 
work on the second samba server (using its /etc/smb.conf).

errors:
1) list all workgroups
$ ./list smb://
smbc_opendir: Invalid argument

# means: A NULL file/URL was passed, or the URL would not parse, or was 
of incorrect form or smbc_init not called.
# lists the available workgroups when called on first server

2) list servers in workgroup RATNET
$ ./list smb://RATNET/
smbc_opendir: No such device

# means: the workgroup or server could not be found.
# lists servers when called on first server



Listing dirctories and shares works with both samba servers.

My question is: which options in the smb.conf file are used by 
libsmbclient (and which options could be wrong in my case)?

I've listed the (in my eyes) important options below...

<first server (works)>
workgroup = RATNET
security = user
interfaces = 172.17.10.3/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1
bind interfaces only = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast
wins support = yes
wins proxy = yes
</first server>

<second server (doesn't work)>
workgroup = RATNET
security = share
domain master = no
local master = no
preferred master = no
os level = 0
name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast
wins support = no
wins server = 172.17.10.3
</second server>


I've appended my test program at the end of this mail.
$ smbclient -L 172.17.10.3
# works and lists all information I need (on both samba servers)


Thanks for any help,
Philipp
