Shares are not listed (Access denied)

[Roland Schmid]

Good Morning,
I have almost the same problem.
When I use smbclient -U% -L server I get a share List and Server List
but instead of listing the shares it says "Error returning browse
list: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access Denied)".
Using the same smbclient command on the local server the shares will be
listed.
The users exist in the remote server and in the smbpasswd.
Anyone got an idea what goes wrong?
Thanks for help.
Roland
