Summary:                    xffm hangs trying to browse smb server (after successful browse of domain)
Description: 
When I try to browse samba shares on my network the results are:

1) xffm succesfully finds the master browser:
   nmblookup -M -- -

2) also retrieves the domain name:
   nmblookup -A <master browser address>

3) and the server name:
   smbclient -N -L //<master browser name>

MINOR PROBLEM: the only machine that shows up in xffm tree is the PDC even
if the smbclient -L command shows all running smb servers if issued in a
shell.


At this point if I click the server name xffm thinks for a bit (running
indicator in the left botton corner) and then stops and leaves the yellow
mark saying "Loading..." in the samba tree. The other parts of Xffm are
still working (even the SMB Network nodes) but if i click on the
"Loading..." mark xffm closes down.

if I run xffm from dbg I can see the following output :

DBG: undefined error at smblookup.c (when I try to open the smb server
node)

and then if I click on the yellow "Loading..." mark :

Does smb browsing for xffm version 4.0.3 work on your system? 

The "undefined error" indicates that the smb query terminated without a
success or challenged status.

Yes, I've downloaded xffm 4.0.3 and it works !

By the way, the only permitted operation on smb share files is copying ? 
I can't even mount a smb share via xffm ? 

many thanks for your help.

Bug remains open since operations are different in 4.1 tree, and should be
solved before 4.2 release. 

BTW, no smb mounting available except through fstab file with xffstab. I
believe it is on the todo list for 4.2

I think this bug is due to fail trap timeout. Being set a 1 second, input
could have been aborted. The delay for failure trap is now set at 5
seconds. Please try the current CVS HEAD of xffm to verify if bug is gone
on your machine.

i've had the same problem, and i can confirm that it's gone now in current
cvs (at least for me). keep up the good work!
