`rescue in initialize': Unknown Process Failed!! (Input/output error - /dev/ttys002) about sambal HOT 6 CLOSED

I'm not familiar with LDAP auth and the smbclient, you're welcome to do some more testing - perhaps you could try using just the command line client and see what the output/error is there?

Has anyone found a solution to this?
I am trying to connect to a Mac (which has smb sharing turned on), and I am getting the same error.
Connecting using the Finder (Command + K, smb://xxxx) works though, and I don't think the Mac uses LDAP.
Connecting using smbclient from the commandline also works without a problem!

This is the smbclient output (changed server name to 'muppet'). Maybe this helps:

smbclient -L muppet -U guest
Enter guest's password: 
Domain=[MUPPET] OS=[Darwin] Server=[@(#)PROGRAM:smbd  PROJECT:smbx-105.8.70]

I do get the same error though, when trying to connect to a Windows laptop (I don't have authorization, so I can't really do anything there, but at least smbclient never crashes):

smbclient -L some-nb2 -U guest

Did you try using the absolute path to smbclient in sambal.rb? I modified https://github.com/johnae/sambal/blob/master/lib/sambal.rb#L48 to /usr/bin/smbclient

I will submit a generic patch if that works.

Sorry, I can't access this specific setup anymore (It's halfway around the globe now).
But I don't think I used the full path back then.

I'll see if I find the time to recreate the scenario, but I am working on other projects now. :(
Sorry, but thanks for the effort!

Since this is so old, I'll close it. Reopen if this is still a problem.
