bad password

When the world was young, Annette Kaul <Annette.Kaul at ger.sas.com> 
carved some runes like this:

I can't say with any certainty about samba 2.0x, but my 1.9.x 
server works this way:

The above command (smbclient -L SERVER) is run as guest; do you 
have a valid guest account?  Also, you should not enter a password 
for this command; just hit return.  I get a list of the samba 
shares, the browse list, and the workgroup list, however, my samba 
box is the local/domain master browser, and we don't have NT server 
(only NT4 workstation and win9x clients).

Hope this helps, Steve
