CLASS="QUOTE"
>"When getting the list of shares available on a host using the command
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"

the program always prompts for the password if the server is a Samba server.
It also ignores the "-N" argument when querying some (but not all) of our
NT servers."</SPAN

><P
>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.</P

CLASS="COMMAND"
>smbclient -L host -U%</B
></P
><P
>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.</P
