Thank you for your suggestions!

- the test server is an ancient real pentium running windows server 2003, so
  I don't think it knows about SMBv2.
- as pointed out in private email, I should have been root given the
  permissions on /dev/nsmb*

Now when I try, I see

# smbutil -v login -I wibble //prlw1@wibble
Password:
smbutil: connection already exists
# smbutil lc
SMB connections:
None

        error = smb_ctx_lookup(ctx, level, 0);
        if (error == 0) {
                smb_error("connection already exists", error);
                exit(0);
        }

smb_ctx_lookup does complete, and ctx looks sane, but lc doesn't list
anything.


Cheers,

Patrick
