Re: smbclient -N --no-pass broken

So we disagree about mixing the -A (or -U) option(s) with the -N option to smbclient, and the change in semantics W/R/T "no prompt" vs. "break authentication" that happened between F7 and F9. I guess it's not a bug and I'll have to get over it.

The 80/20 issue is actually 95/5...about 5% failures right now. What appears to be happening is when the file system gets busy, and the process table has thousands of entries, smbclient starts (occasionally) prompting for the password, breaking the scripts. I assume this is due to some read error happening with the credentials file.

I want to say this doesn't happen on F7, but I can't state that positively any more, I found out today (to my dismay) some things changed recently in our test data mix and I don't have a spare F7 system to beat on until Tuesday.

Whether this 5% failure is the fault of our apps, the os, or smbclient is unknown to me at this time. I'll take a closer look next Tuesday.
