[Samba] smbclient -c commands

[Shane Chambers]

Hello,

Has anyone else run into the problem where smbclient only processes the
commands before a space in the "command string" (-c) field but not the
rest?

My NON-WORKING example:

# smbclient '\\server\Documents' -d 0 -U abackup -E -c 'archive
1;recurse;du'
Password: 
Archive level is 0

It processed the "archive" (returning what archive level it's at
currently), not the "archive 0", let alone the "recurse;du"

But the following works:
# smbclient '\\server\Documents' -d 0 -U abackup -E -c
"archive;recurse;du"  
Password: 
Archive level is 0

                38107 blocks of size 1048576. 8475 blocks available
Total number of bytes: 5091539134

In this case it told us the "current archive level," and did the
"recurse;du" arguments.  All because the space wasn't in there.

The following works, up till the space, as well, proving that it's the
space causing the problem:
# smbclient '\\server\Documents' -d 0 -U abackup -E -c "ls;archive
1;recurse;du"
Password:

Any help would be appreciated.  I've looked everywhere, but I can't find
any reference to this.

fact a bug, I'll file a bug report appropriately.
