Details

Description:


Additional info:
* package version(s)
extra/gvfs-smb 1.36.1-1
extra/smbclient 4.8.1-1
extra/libwbclient 4.8.1-1

* config and/or log files etc.
No specific configuration


Steps to reproduce:
Just install it, and try to run for example smbtree. The corresponding packages are also part of the default Gnome installation.

I tried to debug why Nautilus didn't show any of the local network Samba shares. While working at debugging this, I got the following issue:
`smbtree: Can't load /etc/samba/smb.conf - run testparm to debug it`
It looks like this file is supposed to be present. There's also some discussion about the issue here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/talk:samba#smb.conf_file_required_for_smbclient.3F

It also looks like the package delete this, as I created it in version 4.8.0 and it got removed with upgrade to 4.8.1.
