Hi
 I have read through this bug with some interest and tried to add the libsmbclient suggested above and was told a newer version was already installed...
I have a similar problem as reported initially and a real Linux Noob.. I was hoping the patch downloaded today would fix things but no joy..

gary@gary-laptop:~$ smbclient -V
Version 3.2.3
My proceedings are as follows in a shell

gary@gary-laptop:~$ smbclient //NASSTORE/PUBLIC -W SHAZ -U gary
Enter gary's password:
Domain=[ȇ] OS=[] Server=[���]
smb: \> ls
cli_list_new: Error: unable to parse name from info level 1
Segmentation fault
gary@gary-laptop:~$

the system logs this
Jan 6 21:58:53 gary-laptop kernel: [ 3969.498048] smbclient[6183]: segfault at 0 ip b7ad42c3 sp bfed5f3c error 4 in libc-2.8.90.so[b7a5d000+158000]

I can mkdir and cd etc but no access to file listings.
Nautilus just re-directs itself to my home page.

my NAS is a NexStarLX with the latest firmware Version installed which is like dated 2006-10-9 which doesnt really fill me with much warmth but I do knw this drive did work with a previous debian installation I had. not sure of the version. Funny old thing is the Solaris installation I tried also failed to access the NAS. (I have been trying out versions untill I found one I like.) (Ubuntu 8.10 seems to be the winner bar this samba problem :( )

I havent tried the gvs stuff yet.. but will ry and pick through it.
Happy New year to you all.
Gary..
