When viewing a list of network computers with Windows Explorer, it shows the server names and the server strings, i.e.; Bobs computer in accounting (WS1), where (WS1) is the netbios name. Is there any way to get the server string to show on Linux? It'd be nice to see it in Nautilus, but I know I'll have to ask them. If there were a Samba utility that would retrieve it, that would do for now. Thanks, -- Alex Ubuntu 11.04

"lenny32-4 server" is the server string. $ smbclient -L localhost -U% Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.2.5] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- IPC$ IPC IPC Service (lenny32-4 server) share4 Disk print$ Disk Printer Drivers Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.2.5] Server Comment --------- ------- LENNY32-4 lenny32-4 server Workgroup Master --------- ------- HOME MELROSE SAMBADOM SAMBAPDC WORKGROUP LENNY32-4 --- TAKAHASHI Motonobu <monyo at samba.gr.jp>
