Neither is mine, but your description seems fine to me.
The bad thing is that it pushes the mc.ini vs. mc.lib madness even
further. mc.lib is supposed to be a system wide configuration, while
mc.ini should only have the settings saved by the user. That's what the
manual used to say before I discovered that only terminal settings are
actually read from mc.lib.
Some settings are more likely to be system-wide than others, and it's
understandable that your code only reads mc.lib. However, I would prefer
to have a uniform policy regarding the settings.
By the way, what is mc reading from smb.conf? Is it the workgroup name?
Anything else? I think that mc should work just fine without smb.conf.
