FWIW, I have ~sometimes~ gotten this to work with
smbclient -N <localhost> -L

on the Linux box. That is, if the Linux box is named freak, then, on freak


smbclient -N freak -L


This was some time ago--I actually only use Samba for briefly backing up 
something from one box to another on a home network, and I'm looking at old 
notes I made (where, of course, I figured I'd remember why I was doing that 
and didn't bother to write it down.)



As I'm sure one of the more expert people will help you,  when they
see your post,
I'm posting the above  more for my own curiosity, to see if by some chance 
it does work.
