As of rawhide samba 4.1rc (and far back as rhel5's samba 3), compare & contrast: % env -u POSIXLY_CORRECT smbstatus --help % env POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 smbstatus --help The latter ignores the --help option. This is due to libpopt being sensitive to that environment variable, (popt.c:195 as of popt 1.13). Please consider explicitly unsetting the environment variable before calling into libpopt. Or fix (if there is a problem; dunno) the smbstatus long-options to be sufficiently saintly to work even with $POSIXLY_CORRECT.
