Hi all, I have a problem with smbclient from the samba-client-3.0.14a-2 package supplied with Fedora Core 2. It hangs when listing any directory with over 36 items in it on one particular Windows XP Professional box I'm trying to back up. If I run smbclient -d 3, I get the following output over and over when listing the directory: received 36 entries (eos=0) received 36 entries (eos=0) received 36 entries (eos=0) received 36 entries (eos=0) received 36 entries (eos=0) received 36 entries (eos=0) received 36 entries (eos=0) received 36 entries (eos=0) received 36 entries (eos=0) received 36 entries (eos=0) received 36 entries (eos=0) received 36 entries (eos=0) Anyone got any clues what might be wrong here? Shaun.

Try the 3.0.20 pre-release, the bug is fixed there. Jeremy.
