[Samba] Newer SMBTREE versions don't find all systems.

[David F.]

I should point out the config for the build for these three utilities are:

./configure --disable-cups --without-ad-dc
--nonshared-binary=client/smbclient,smbtree,nmblookup
--sysconfdir=/etc/samba/ --localstatedir=/var/run/samba

Only need the client side.
