At some point, Slava undertook a rewrite, but it was never finished, and apparently nobody is really interested, so whether it will ever happen is an open question, but I wouldn't bet on it. I would much rather recommend you setting up SMBNetFS, which will resolve all the problems you're mentioning, I believe: http://askubuntu.com/a/653913
Hah! If I knew it was outdated.. I've set up smbfs mounts through fstab and autofs for my user so it's not a problem. I liked the idea to have it from mc itself, like it does for FTP, and I was tempted by it mostly in order to avoid cifs mount resistance to hibernation and other hang outs (I re-discover smbfs after few years, I see it's still as slow and itchy as it was), but it's not critical at all. I'll have a look at smbnetfs as well, thanks for the tip! Regards, -- wwp
