Description Derrell Lipman 2005-10-13 08:31:14 UTC 
smbc_init_context() issues

  home = getenv("HOME")
  slprintf(conf, sizeof(conf), "%s/.smb/smb.conf", home)

but if HOME is not set in the environment, 'home' is null.

Fix to assume that if HOME is not set, then ${HOME}/.smb/smb.conf and
${HOME}/.smb/smb.conf.append do not exist.
