nmblookup can be used to find a master browser for a particular domain.  For
Samba 2.0.3, it's:

nmblookup -M -


When you get the name of the master browser, you can use smbclient to get
a list of shares.  Since it's a master browser, it will also contain a browse
list and display that as well.  You may want to pipe it to less so you can
read it:

smbclient -L mymasterbrowser
