No, it does not ignore -N, it is just that your server rejected the null password in the connection, so smbclient prompts for a password to try again.
- -To get the behaviour that you probably want use smbclient -L host -U%
- -This will set both the username and password to null, which is an anonymous login for SMB. Using -N would only set the password to null, and this is not accepted as an anonymous login for most SMB servers.
