Yes I know now ;-)
There is a 'shell', it is called 'ssh'

I cannot make it crash (I have fixed my 'cannot connect' problem, I
didn't have libsmbclient installed)

If it is a Samba bug, it seems to be localised to Fedora, it works on
Devuan, which means it works on Debian, Louis seems to have it working
on Ubuntu 18.04 
Using smbclient is very much like using the Kodi interface, the both
use libsmbclient
