Your note suggests that "net rpc" should work.  Here I try both
smbclient and "net rpc":

  $ ./smbclient -s /etc/samba/smb.conf -L //B1-XP-3

Am I using "net rpc" right?  I would have expected to at least see the
same shares that smbclient lists, plus one more:  a long-named share
(18 characters) not reported by smbclient.
