Sure, if you want to utilize local broadcast packets for discovery on a
local
network to discover on a particular domain, but I guess I was assuming that
this would provide a more global approach to retrieving netbios names over
ip on a name by name/ ip by ip basis. For instance, if i'm in my herndon
facility, and I need to query all machines for a name inventory list in my
SF facility, smbclient would attempt to utilize broadcast packets (it
assumes localnet on netbios name queries unless you specify IP), it would
return 0. Otherwise, if you are referring to retreiving netbios names on an
individual basis, as I described, I have seen no evidence that smbclient has
this capability (IE called name not present on mount attempts) Like I said,
my method is not efficient, but it does work.
