There are quite a few useful tools at the client end to test
connections, authentication etc: nmblookup, smbtree, and in particular
smbclient.
E.g. to get a listing of shares visible to a given username/password:
smbclient -U «username»%«password» -L «server-addr»
Specify domain as well:
smbclient -U «username»%«password» -W «domain» ...
Access a particular share:
smbclient //«server/«share-name» -U «username» «password»
(Hmm, there might be a typo in my notes ... might need a “%” instead
of a blank between «username» and «password».)
Here’s a tip for troublesome Windows clients: they could be trying to
use an obsolete connection protocol version or authentication protocol
version that your Samba server is not configured to allow.
