Hello Perl Monks,

I need to access a SMB host which requires SMB version 2. Filesys::SmbClient (3.2) has served me well working with SMB1 but does not successfully create a SMB2 connection. This is the error I get:

samba_tevent: EPOLL_CTL_DEL EBADF for fde[0x27c9930] mpx_fde[(nil)] fd[8] - disabling

Directly using smbclient with SMB version 2 works fine:

smbclient -U domain\\user //HOSTNAME/ShareName -c "dir" -m SMB2

But when omitting the max-protocol tag (-m) while using smbclient, a very similar error appears:

smbclient -U domain\\user //HOSTNAME/ShareName -c "dir"
samba_tevent: EPOLL_CTL_DEL EBADF for fde[0x7f454d1eff50] mpx_fde[(nil
+)] fd[7] - disabling

I assume that Filesys::SmbClient is trying to use SMB version 1 to connect to the target host and I have no idea how I can change this behaviour. I have checked the official module documentation with no success and tried forcing the client protocol version in /etc/samba/smb.conf but this has no effect on Filesys::SmbClient as well.

Is there someone that has had this issue or has any ideas? I would appreciate any feedback and/or help in the matter.

Thank you!
