According to command line - List samba shares and current users - Ask Ubuntu, there should be 3 ways to list the samba/smb shares defined on a linux box.
testparm
This is the only one that works for me, and basically returns a compiled regurgitaion of the smb.conf file, I think.
net usershare info --long
Produces “net usershare: usershares are currently disabled” response.
smbstatus --shares
Returns nothing, implying that there are no shares.
However, in the case of this server, the shares do in fact exist and are successfully shared to windows boxes. So I am confused.
smbclient --list localhost
After installing smbclient (via yum install samba-client) on the server, I’m able to list shares this way as well.
