This smbsh rips! However, it unfortunately only rips on one of the machines here ;) On the others, which have basically the same config but a 2.2.5 kernel (vs 2.2.9) smbsh runs fine, and a cd to /smb works, but nothing else. 'ls' produces a listing of the directory where smbsh started in - it seems to me that no 'preloading' is being done of smbwrapper.so. Is there a way to test or troubleshoot this? One worrying thing is that 'strace' works - which it shouldn't and doesn't in the machine where smbsh works perfectly. I'll try upgrading the kernel and trying again. Part of the problem might be I compiled on the one machine where it works - but apart from the kernel, they're all very similar. cr
