Doesn't work for me... This is  samba-3.6.23-43.el6_9.x86_64 on CentOS6 and
in my opinion the "-m SMB2" option shows no evidence that it does anything.
If you point smbclient-3 at a Windows system that has SMB1 disabled, it
does not work - irrespective of the "-m" option. If you point smbclient-4
at the same server, it doesn't work either (default still "-m NT1"), but if
you give it "-m SMB2" it works fine

I know smbclient-v3 claims it supports SMB2, but that isn't the case at
least with the CentOS/RHEL 6 version...
