mc

If Midnight Commander needs several seconds to startup, check the ˋinterfacesˋ line in your ˋsmb.confˋ. According to this page, the built-in Samba code of mc is outdated and doesn't recognize device names like ˋeth0ˋ or ˋloˋ as the newer smbclient does. So it tries to resolve those into IPs which takes ages until they time out.

Replace the devices by their respective netmasks (e.g. ˋ192.168.1.0/24ˋ) and mc will startup instantly.
