[Bug 1032133] [NEW] smbclient fails if server does not support Echo request (eg. Time Capsule)

[Malte S. Stretz]

Public bug reported:

This is the same as bug 445595 which is marked closed: smbclient can't
access files shared by Apple's Time Capsule because the server doesn't
support the echo request:

stretz at slpn-nb-mss:~$ smbclient //timecapsule/HD1
Enter stretz's password: 
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Apple Base Station] Server=[CIFS 4.32]
smb: \> SMBecho failed. Maybe server has closed the connection

This is also reported in the Samba Bugzilla and marked as fixed over
there.
