Another Smbclient 3.4.3-2 question

Hi,

The recent upgrade of smbclient has brought my home network to a halt.  I've tried creating new users per the suggestions in other threads. I've tried deleting the contents of /etc/samba and starting from scratch. Nothing seems to work. Can someone detail a downgrade procedure or will a fix be available quickly??

(When I ask about a owngrade procedure I mean that I'm aware that there are other packages involved, I'm just not sure which ones they are.)

Thanks

Assuming you still have the packages cached use the first one for i686 or the second one for x86_64.

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/smbclient-3.3.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/tdb-3.3.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/smbclient-3.3.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/tdb-3.3.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

Re: Another Smbclient 3.4.3-2 question

I know this isn't quite what you asked for, but you can skip all of smbnetfs and mount directly all Windows shares on your network. For instance, if you have a computer named OFFICE with a shared folder called Public that isn't password protected that you want to mount to /mnt/office. This will give you full read/write permissions:

mount.cifs //OFFICE/Public /mnt/office -o guest,file_mode=0777,dir_mod=0777

You can scan the local network for shares using smbtree from smbclient.
