Public bug reported:

smbclient -NL localhost doesn't show other linux or windows computers
from the workgroup in the column below server on the smbclient report
generated using the -L option.

The report indicates that the browse Master is on another computer.  That other computer has resources to share.  At a minimum, the list should show the master and the localhost in the server column.  But it doesn't do that like it use to do in older releases.  Surprisingly, the Files program shows all the computers in the workgroup. I tried using bcast by removing wins from hosts: in nsswitch.conf and the name resolve order = in smb.conf but that had no effect.
Version: 2:4.7.6+dfsg~ubuntu-0ubuntu2.21
Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Release:	18.04

I expected to see

Server
------
Neptune
Pluto
PIServer
...
Mimas

Workgroup         Master
---------         -------
WORKGROUP         PISERVER

linux computers on the smbclient report under the server heading which
are all running samba and offering shares or services.

Instead,  no other servers are being reported under the server heading.
I would expect as a minimum that PIServer and Neptune (the localhost)
would show up since both Neptune and PISERVER are sharing services and
PIServer is recognized as the master.
