This will list workstations that are currently connected to Samba 
server; if the workstation is not connected to Samba, it won't be shown 
with smbstatus.
So this method is not good for me.

# smbclient -L serwer
(...)
         Server               Comment
         ---------            -------
         PIOTRO
         SERWER

# smbstatus

Samba version 2.2.8a
Service      uid      gid      pid     machine
