[Samba] smbclient can't start a session with stupid XP

[Paul Huffman]

I was looking around at the other PCs around this LAN to see if I can
figure out what's similar about the PCs I can't access with smbclient -L
.  It doesn't seem to matter if their XP,  or Win 98.  Found some
unprotected shares I'd better correct.  Just going through the Solaris
host file PCs.

/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -L //lindnelson
Added interface ip=161.217.10.13 bcast=161.217.10.255
nmask=255.255.255.0

 NELSON SPRINGS       NELSONXP

Hey,  what's this?   There's another XP machine on my Workgroup that
thinks it's the master?  Would that cause a conflict?  It's John's XP
and he's a serious loose cannon.  He tells me he didn't do anything on
his XP.  Am I going to have to add my samba server into the Nelson
Springs Workgroup on NelsonXP?  Let's see what smbclient knows about
this NelsonXP:


 !:- //johnxp
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -L //johnxp
Added interface ip=161.217.10.13 bcast=161.217.10.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to JOHNXP failed

I'm confused.  Smbclient looks like it knows johnxp's Domain and that
it's a LAN Manager but I don't know if there's any shares so I don't
know for sure that the request totally failed.
