Using smbclient to view public cifs shares

Easy? yes. Trivial? yes. But I always have to look up the syntax.
smbclient -L //localhost
Password:
Domain=[MIDEARTH] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.26a]
Sharename Type Comment

Just leave the password empty to do it as guest. For some reasone I tend to always mix up smbclient and smbmount (depricated, usually mount.cifs now).
