SMBCrawler

SMBCrawler is a command-line utility for listing workgroups, servers and shares. It also can recursivily list files located on a Samba server.

It's primarily developed for indexing the shares - for a search engine - on my student network, because I got tired of modifying the parser for the output generated by smbclient with every release.
