smbclient on dns323

[Google Code Exporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. smbclient not available on DNS323

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
smbclient: not found

What Alt-F version are you using? Have you flashed it?
Flashed 0.1RC2

First of all, this is a really great firmware.  Kudos to everyone involved for 
making such a great and flexible firmware for the DNS323.

I know ALT-F comes with a stripped down version of Samba (version 3.5.12).  Is 
there any chance of getting a compiled package for smbclient?  I've search high 
and low for it and havent found it.

My goal is to use smbclient using CUPS.  Instead of using smbspool which is 
also not included, smbclient would offer a greater flexibility in terms of 
connecting to smb clients on the DNS323.

Thanks in advance.

I put all currently RC3 compiled samba-3.5.15 files (but the ones distributed 
with the base firmware) in a samba-tools.tgz tarball here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1555717/DNS-323/Alt-F/experimental/index.html

The tarball has no directory structure, so you should extract them on a 
suitable directory, perhaps /usr/bin: 'tar -C /usr/bin -xzf samba-tools.tgz'

Please test it and report back, in order for me to create a real package.

The tarball content(not attached here as only 10MB are allowed) is:

net
rpcclient
smbget
smbclient
smbcacls
smbcquotas
smbspool
ntlm_auth
pdbedit
eventlogadm
smbcontrol
nmblookup
ldbsearch
ldbedit
ldbmodify
ldbadd
ldbrename
ldbdel
testparm
sharesec
profiles
tdbtool
tdbbackup
tdbdump

I tester all smb, net and rpc tools without a hitch.  Works perfectly.  The 
only thing is smbget shows a warning about not finding the smb.conf in the 
default location (/etc/.smb/smb.conf).  Nothing critical.  Thank you very much.

Correction to my previous post: here is the warning message from smbget:

params.c:OpenConfFile() - Unable to open configuration file 
"/root/.smb/smb.conf"

Closed, as a new samba-extra package is now available with all those binaries.
