[Samba] python: listing samba shares

[Igor Katson]

When just launching your code (with provided credentials), I have a 
segfault. With the credentials code snippet removed, everything works 
fine, and I can see the shares listing! But when changing "localhost" to 
another ip address (a windows machine), it fails:

descent at descent:/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.6/site-packages$ smbclient 
-N -L 192.168.37.37
Domain=[SARDINKA] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

    Sharename       Type      Comment
    ---------       ----      -------
    IPC$            IPC       Remote IPC
    ExampleShare        Disk     

Domain=[test] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

    Server               Comment
    ---------            -------

    Workgroup            Master
    ---------            -------
descent at descent:/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.6/site-packages$ python 
/tmp/shares2.py
boooooo
