Simple test with default configuration::

  # Create a Samba password for an existing Unix user
  smbpasswd -a local_user
  # Lists available shares
  smbclient -U local_user%pass -L //127.0.0.1/
  # Connects to home directory
  smbclient -U local_user%pass //127.0.0.1/local_user

https://gitlab.com/lgarrett/ftf/ can be helpful to setup a
Windows VM. It needs some update though, you can also get an
evaluation copy of Windows 11 Enterprise manually through
https://aka.ms/windev_VM_vmware.

Some tests are included in ``smbtorture`` from the ``samba-testsuite``
package, though they may require specific configuration::

  smbtorture 127.0.0.1 libsmbclient.version

  # /etc/samba/smb.conf
  # [homes]
  #    vfs objects = streams_xattr
  #    read only = no
  apt install samba-vfs-modules
  service smbd restart
  smbtorture -U local_user%pass //127.0.0.1/local_user vfs.streams_xattr

``make test`` is disabled in the packaging (see
``debian/rules:override_dh_auto_test``). 
TODO: re-enable it and run individual tests?
