I have the same problem. I don't know what did you mean with
<samba_server>, but I did that with 127.0.0.1 and this is the result:
[santiago at argentina santiago]$ smbclient -L 127.0.0.1

If what I did was right, there is no Master server.
I can't make browse a WinXP network. I think that with RH9 I could but
when I installed the samba server I couldn't anymore.
As you can see I don't know anything about networks, but I just want to
share information over it ;-).
