using UNIX commands such as \fBls\fR, \fB egrep\fR, and \fBrcp\fR. You must use a
shell that is dynamically linked in order for \fBsmbsh\fR
to work correctly.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.TP
+\fB-W WORKGROUP\fR
+Override the default workgroup specified in the
+workgroup parameter of the \fIsmb.conf\fR file
+for this session. This may be needed to connect to some
+servers.
+.TP
+\fB-U username[%pass]\fR
+Sets the SMB username or username and password.
+If this option is not specified, the user will be prompted for
+both the username and the password. If %pass is not specified,
+the user will be prompted for the password.
+.TP
+\fB-P prefix\fR
+This option allows
+the user to set the directory prefix for SMB access. The
+default value if this option is not specified is
+\fBsmb\fR.
+.TP
+\fB-R <name resolve order>\fR
+This option is used to determine what naming
+services and in what order to resolve
+host names to IP addresses. The option takes a space-separated
+string of different name resolution options.
+
+The options are :"lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast".
+They cause names to be resolved as follows :
+.RS
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+lmhosts :
+Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file. If the
+line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the
+NetBIOS name
+(see the lmhosts(5)
+for details) then any name type matches for lookup.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+host :
+Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using
+the system \fI/etc/hosts\fR, NIS, or DNS
+lookups. This method of name resolution is operating
+system dependent, for instance on IRIX or Solaris this
+may be controlled by the \fI/etc/nsswitch.conf
+\fRfile). Note that this method is only used
+if the NetBIOS name type being queried is the 0x20
+(server) name type, otherwise it is ignored.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+wins :
+Query a name with the IP address listed in the
+\fIwins server\fR parameter. If no
+WINS server has been specified this method will be
+ignored.
+.TP 0.2i
+\(bu
+bcast :
+Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces
+listed in the \fIinterfaces\fR
+parameter. This is the least reliable of the name
+resolution methods as it depends on the target host
+being on a locally connected subnet.
+.RE
+.PP
+If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order
+defined in the \fIsmb.conf\fR file parameter
+(name resolve order) will be used.
+.PP
+.PP
+The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast. Without
+this parameter or any entry in the \fIname resolve order
+\fRparameter of the \fIsmb.conf\fR
+file, the name resolution methods will be attempted in this
+order.
+.PP
+.TP
+\fB-d <debug level>\fR
+debug level is an integer from 0 to 10.
+
+The default value if this parameter is not specified
+is zero.
+
+The higher this value, the more detail will be logged
+about the activities of \fBnmblookup\fR. At level
+0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged.
+.TP
+\fB-l logfilename\fR
+If specified causes all debug messages to be
+written to the file specified by \fIlogfilename
+\fR\&. If not specified then all messages will be
+written to\fIstderr\fR.
+.TP
+\fB-L libdir\fR
+This parameter specifies the location of the
+shared libraries used by \fBsmbsh\fR. The default
+value is specified at compile time.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
To use the \fBsmbsh\fR command, execute \fB smbsh\fR from the prompt and enter the username and password
that authenticates you to the machine running the Windows NT
