samba - Oct 1997 - Browsing from the Unix side

I would like to use samba running on Linux to browse the local 
network.  Is there a way to get a list of the available machines
and/or workgroups visible from the linux machine?

smbclient -L unix_host_running_samba

sjould do it, or

cat /var/lock/samba/browse.dat

(or where ever your browse.dat file is).

First, a couple of questions - are encrypted passwords absolutely necessary?

The reason is, NT DOMAIN support in samba is only going to be useful to 
me if I can continue to tie the authentication into our central 
AFS/Kerberos server. 

I have tried to do the setup without doing to encrypted passwords and am 
not sure if that is part of the problem or not.

Re step 2 in NTDOMAIN.txt: How exactly does one add this line? I had to 
add a line for a user that was in the password file, and then edit the 
name. Here is the current setup:

Two machines on same segment, one named INFINITY (the server) the other 
is CONSOLE. INFINITY is serving domain/workgroup "AFSDOMAIN". 

Here is what is in smbpasswd:
CONSOLE$:0:0D20A4E2B0D8BEC1AAD3B435B51404EE:\
        222B9139F2847B86F75B601845D5A045:blah:/:/bin/bash

Step 6-7 seemed to work ok once I got that entry added to the smbpasswd file.

Step 8 though did not. When I attempt to actually log into the domain it 
says something along the lines of "Cannot log you in. Domain not
available."

Any ideas?

I sent a copy of the log to samba-bugs.
