You are right about that. However, the bug is a problem of gvfs that does not
work with samba 4.16 and not the other way round, because smbclient works as it
should. I am still expecting an upstream patch or an upgrade on gvfs that would
solve it, but since most popular distros are not yet on 4.16, I guess there is
not much feedback and need to solve it.

Anyway, samba was upgraded to 4.16.2 today from upstream and its changelog
mentions something about smbclient, so I hope it is finally fixed. Can you
please show me the relevant bug report under samba so as to bookmark it? Thank
you.

p.s. I would not be that upset for the bug if it wasn't for my workflow that
demands access to samba shares at least every second day.
