+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This program is part of the Samba suite.
+
+.B nmbd
+is a server that understands and can reply to netbios
+name service requests, like those produced by LanManager
+clients. It also controls browsing.
+
+LanManager clients, when they start up, may wish to locate a LanManager server.
+That is, they wish to know what IP number a specified host is using.
+
+This program simply listens for such requests, and if its own name is specified
+it will respond with the IP number of the host it is running on. "Its own name"
+is by default the name of the host it is running on, but this can be overriden
+with the
+.B -n
+option (see "OPTIONS" below). Using the
+.B -S
+option (see "OPTIONS" below), it can also be instructed to respond with IP 
+information about other hosts, provided they are locatable via the 
+gethostbyname() call, or they are in a netbios hosts file.
+
+Nmbd can also be used as a WINS (Windows Internet Name Server)
+server. It will do this automatically by default. What this basically
+means is that it will respond to all name requests that it receives
+that are not broadcasts, as long as it can resolve the name.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.B -B
+
+.RS 3
+On some systems, the server is unable to determine the broadcast address to
+use for name registration requests. If your system has this difficulty, this 
+parameter may be used to specify an appropriate broadcast address. The 
+address should be given in standard "a.b.c.d" notation.
+
+Only use this parameter if you are sure that the server cannot properly 
+determine the proper broadcast address.
+
+The default broadcast address is determined by the server at run time. If it
+encounters difficulty doing so, it makes a guess based on the local IP
+number.
+.RE
+.B -I
+
+.RS 3
+On some systems, the server is unable to determine the correct IP
+address to use. This allows you to override the default choice.
+.RE
+
+.B -D
+
+.RS 3
+If specified, this parameter causes the server to operate as a daemon. That is,
+it detaches itself and runs in the background, fielding requests on the 
+appropriate port.
+
+By default, the server will NOT operate as a daemon.
+.RE
+
+.B -C comment string
+
+.RS 3
+This allows you to set the "comment string" that is shown next to the
+machine name in browse listings. 
+
+A %v will be replaced with the Samba version number.
+
+A %h will be replaced with the hostname.
+
+It defaults to "Samba %v".
+.RE
+
+.B -G
+
+.RS 3
+This option allows you to specify a netbios group (also known as
+lanmanager domain) that the server should be part of. You may include
+several of these on the command line if you like. Alternatively you
+can use the -H option to load a netbios hosts file containing domain names.
+
+At startup, unless the -R switch has been used, the server will
+attempt to register all group names in the hosts file and on the
+command line (from the -G option).
+
+The server will also respond to queries on this name.
+.RE
+
+.B -H
+
+.RS 3
+It may be useful in some situations to be able to specify a list of
+netbios names for which the server should send a reply if
+queried. This option allows that. The syntax is similar to the
+standard /etc/hosts file format, but has some extensions.
+
+The file contains three columns. Lines beginning with a # are ignored
+as comments. The first column is an IP address, or a hostname. If it
+is a hostname then it is interpreted as the IP address returned by
+gethostbyname() when read. Any IP address of 0.0.0.0 will be
+interpreted as the servers own IP address.
+
+The second column is a netbios name. This is the name that the server
+will respond to. It must be less than 20 characters long.
+
+The third column is optional, and is intended for flags. Currently the
+only flags supported are G, S and M. A G indicates that the name is a
+group (also known as domain) name.
+
+At startup all groups known to the server (either from this file or
+from the -G option) are registered on the network (unless the -R
+option has been selected).
+
+A S or G means that the specified address is a broadcast address of a
+network that you want people to be able to browse you from. Nmbd will
+search for a master browser in that domain and will send host
+announcements to that machine, informing it that the specifed somain
+is available.
+
+A M means that this name is the default netbios name for this
+machine. This has the same affect as specifying the -n option to nmbd.
+
+After startup the server waits for queries, and will answer queries to
+any name known to it. This includes all names in the netbios hosts
+file (if any), it's own name, and any names given with the -G option.
+
+The primary intention of the -H option is to allow a mapping from
+netbios names to internet domain names, and to allow the specification
+of groups that the server should be part of.
+
+.B Example:
+
+        # This is a sample netbios hosts file
+
+        # DO NOT USE THIS FILE AS-IS
+        # YOU MAY INCONVENIENCE THE OWNERS OF THESE IPs
+        # if you want to include a name with a space in it then 
+        # use double quotes.
+
+        # first put ourselves in the group LANGROUP
+        0.0.0.0 LANGROUP G
+
+        # next add a netbios alias for a faraway host
+        arvidsjaur.anu.edu.au ARVIDSJAUR
+
+        # finally put in an IP for a hard to find host
+        130.45.3.213 FREDDY
+
+        # now we want another subnet to be able to browse
+        # us in the workgroup UNIXSERV
+        192.0.2.255  UNIXSERV G
+
+.RE
+
+.B -M
+.I workgroup name
+
+.RS 3
+If this parameter is given, the server will look for a master browser
+for the specified workgroup name, report success or failure, then
+exit. If successful, the IP address of the name located will be
+reported. 
+
+If you use the workgroup name "-" then nmbd will search for a master
+browser for any workgroup by using the name __MSBROWSE__.
+
+This option is meant to be used interactively on the command line, not
+as a daemon or in inetd.
+
+.RE
+.B -N
+
+.RS 3
+On some systems, the server is unable to determine the netmask. If
+your system has this difficulty, this parameter may be used to specify
+an appropriate netmask. The mask should be given in standard
+"a.b.c.d" notation.
+
+Only use this parameter if you are sure that the server cannot properly 
+determine the proper netmask.
+
+The default netmask is determined by the server at run time. If it
+encounters difficulty doing so, it makes a guess based on the local IP
+number.
+.RE
+
+.B -d
+.I debuglevel
+.RS 3
+
+debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 5.
+
+The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero.
+
+The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about
+the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious 
+warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day to day running
+- it generates a small amount of information about operations carried out.
+
+Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should 
+only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for 
+use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most of which 
+is extremely cryptic.
+.RE
+
+.B -l
+.I log file
+
+.RS 3
+If specified,
+.I logfile
+specifies a base filename into which operational data from the running server
+will be logged.
+
+The default base name is specified at compile time.
+
+The base name is used to generate actual log file names. For example, if the
+name specified was "log", the following files would be used for log data:
+
+.RS 3
+log.nmb (containing debugging information)
+
+log.nmb.in (containing inbound transaction data)
+
+log.nmb.out (containing outbound transaction data)
+.RE
+
+The log files generated are never removed by the server.
+.RE
+.RE
+
+.B -n
+.I netbios name
+
+.RS 3
+This parameter tells the server what netbios name to respond with when 
+queried. The same name is also registered on startup unless the -R 
+parameter was specified.
+
+The default netbios name used if this parameter is not specified is the 
+name of the host on which the server is running.
+.RE
+
+.B -p
+.I port number
+.RS 3
+
+port number is a positive integer value.
+
+The default value if this parameter is not specified is 137.
+
+This number is the port number that will be used when making connections to
+the server from client software. The standard (well-known) port number for the
+server is 137, hence the default. If you wish to run the server as an ordinary
+user rather than as root, most systems will require you to use a port number
+greater than 1024 - ask your system administrator for help if you are in this
+situation.
+
+Note that the name server uses UDP, not TCP!
+
+This parameter is not normally specified except in the above situation.
+.RE
+.SH FILES
+
+.B /etc/inetd.conf
+
+.RS 3
+If the server is to be run by the inetd meta-daemon, this file must contain
+suitable startup information for the meta-daemon. See the section 
+"INSTALLATION" below.
+.RE
+
+.B /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2
+
+.RS 3
+(or whatever initialisation script your system uses)
+
+If running the server as a daemon at startup, this file will need to contain
+an appropriate startup sequence for the server. See the section "Installation"
+below.
+.RE
+
+.B /etc/services
+
+.RS 3
+If running the server via the meta-daemon inetd, this file must contain a
+mapping of service name (eg., netbios-ns)  to service port (eg., 137) and
+protocol type (eg., udp). See the section "INSTALLATION" below.
+.RE
+.RE
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+Not applicable.
+
+.SH INSTALLATION
+The location of the server and its support files is a matter for individual
+system administrators. The following are thus suggestions only.
+
+It is recommended that the server software be installed under the /usr/local
+hierarchy, in a directory readable by all, writeable only by root. The server
+program itself should be executable by all, as users may wish to run the 
+server themselves (in which case it will of course run with their privileges).
+The server should NOT be setuid or setgid!
+
+The server log files should be put in a directory readable and writable only
+by root, as the log files may contain sensitive information.
+
+The remaining notes will assume the following:
+
+.RS 3
+nmbd (the server program) installed in /usr/local/smb
+
+log files stored in /var/adm/smblogs
+.RE
+
+The server may be run either as a daemon by users or at startup, or it may
+be run from a meta-daemon such as inetd upon request. If run as a daemon, the
+server will always be ready, so starting sessions will be faster. If run from 
+a meta-daemon some memory will be saved and utilities such as the tcpd 
+TCP-wrapper may be used for extra security.
+
+When you've decided, continue with either "Running the server as a daemon" or
+"Running the server on request".
+.SH RUNNING THE SERVER AS A DAEMON
+To run the server as a daemon from the command line, simply put the "-D" option
+on the command line. There is no need to place an ampersand at the end of the
+command line - the "-D" option causes the server to detach itself from the
+tty anyway.
+
+Any user can run the server as a daemon (execute permissions permitting, of 
+course). This is useful for testing purposes.
+
+To ensure that the server is run as a daemon whenever the machine is started,
+you will need to modify the system startup files. Wherever appropriate (for
+example, in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2), insert the following line, substituting 
+values appropriate to your system:
+
+.RS 3
+/usr/local/smb/nmbd -D -l/var/adm/smblogs/log
+.RE
+
+(The above should appear in your initialisation script as a single line. 
+Depending on your terminal characteristics, it may not appear that way in
+this man page. If the above appears as more than one line, please treat any 
+newlines or indentation as a single space or TAB character.)
+
+If the options used at compile time are appropriate for your system, all
+parameters except the desired debug level and "-D" may be omitted. See the
+section on "Options" above.
+.SH RUNNING THE SERVER ON REQUEST
+If your system uses a meta-daemon such as inetd, you can arrange to have the
+SMB name server started whenever a process attempts to connect to it. This 
+requires several changes to the startup files on the host machine. If you are
+experimenting as an ordinary user rather than as root, you will need the 
+assistance of your system administrator to modify the system files.
+
+First, ensure that a port is configured in the file /etc/services. The 
+well-known port 137 should be used if possible, though any port may be used.
+
+Ensure that a line similar to the following is in /etc/services:
+
+.RS 3
+netbios-ns	137/udp
+.RE
+
+Note for NIS/YP users: You may need to rebuild the NIS service maps rather
+than alter your local /etc/services file.
+
+Next, put a suitable line in the file /etc/inetd.conf (in the unlikely event
+that you are using a meta-daemon other than inetd, you are on your own). Note
+that the first item in this line matches the service name in /etc/services.
+Substitute appropriate values for your system in this line (see
+.B inetd(8)):
+
+.RS 3
+netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /usr/local/smb/nmbd -l/var/adm/smblogs/log
+.RE
+
+(The above should appear in /etc/inetd.conf as a single line. Depending on 
+your terminal characteristics, it may not appear that way in this man page.
+If the above appears as more than one line, please treat any newlines or 
+indentation as a single space or TAB character.)
+
+Note that there is no need to specify a port number here, even if you are 
+using a non-standard port number.
+.SH TESTING THE INSTALLATION
+If running the server as a daemon, execute it before proceeding. If
+using a meta-daemon, either restart the system or kill and restart the 
+meta-daemon. Some versions of inetd will reread their configuration tables if
+they receive a HUP signal.
+
+To test whether the name server is running, start up a client
+.I on a different machine
+and see whether the desired name is now present. Alternatively, run 
+the nameserver
+.I on a different machine
+specifying "-L netbiosname", where "netbiosname" is the name you have 
+configured the test server to respond with. The command should respond 
+with success, and the IP number of the machine using the specified netbios 
+name. You may need the -B parameter on some systems. See the README
+file for more information on testing nmbd.
+
+.SH VERSION
+This man page is (mostly) correct for version 1.9.00 of the Samba suite, plus some
+of the recent patches to it. These notes will necessarily lag behind 
+development of the software, so it is possible that your version of 
+the server has extensions or parameter semantics that differ from or are not 
+covered by this man page. Please notify these to the address below for 
+rectification.

+
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+[This section under construction]
+
+Most diagnostics issued by the server are logged in the specified log file. The
+log file name is specified at compile time, but may be overridden on the
+command line.
+
+The number and nature of diagnostics available depends on the debug level used
+by the server. If you have problems, set the debug level to 3 and peruse the
+log files.
+
+Most messages are reasonably self-explanatory. Unfortunately, at time of
+creation of this man page the source code is still too fluid to warrant
+describing each and every diagnostic. At this stage your best bet is still
+to grep the source code and inspect the conditions that gave rise to the 
+diagnostics you are seeing.
+
+.SH BUGS
+None known.

+.TH SAMBA 7 29/3/95 Samba Samba
+.SH NAME
+Samba \- a LanManager like fileserver for Unix
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B Samba
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B Samba
+software suite is a collection of programs that implements the SMB
+protocol for unix systems. This protocol is sometimes also referred to
+as the LanManager or Netbios protocol.
+
+.SH COMPONENTS
+
+The Samba suite is made up of several components. Each component is
+described in a separate manual page. It is strongly recommended that
+you read the documentation that comes with Samba and the manual pages
+of those components that you use. If the manual pages aren't clear
+enough then please send me a patch!
+
+The smbd(8) daemon provides the file and print services to SMB clents,
+such as Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT or LanManager. The
+configuration file for this daemon is described in smb.conf(5).
+
+The nmbd(8) daemon provides Netbios nameserving and browsing
+support. It can also be run interactively to query other name service
+daemons.
+
+The smbclient(1) program implements a simple ftp-like client. This is
+useful for accessing SMB shares on other compatible servers (such as
+WfWg), and can also be used to allow a unix box to print to a printer
+attached to any SMB server (such as a PC running WfWg).
+
+The testparm(1) utility allows you to test your smb.conf(5)
+configuration file.
+
+The smbstatus(1) utility allows you to tell who is currently using the
+smbd(8) server.
+
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+
+The Samba software suite is licensed under the Gnu Public License. A
+copy of that license should have come with the package. You are
+encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba suite, but please keep it
+intact.
+
+The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous
+ftp from nimbus.anu.edu.au in the directory pub/tridge/samba/. It is
+also available on several mirror sites worldwide.
+
+You may also find useful information about Samba on the newsgroup
+comp.protocols.smb and the Samba mailing list. Details on how to join
+the mailing list are given in the README file that comes with Samba.
+
+If you have access to a WWW viewer (such as Netscape or Mosaic) then
+you will also find lots of useful information, including back issues
+of the Samba mailing list, at http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/
+
+.SH AUTHOR
+
+The main author of the Samba suite is Andrew Tridgell. He may be
+contacted via e-mail at samba-bugs@anu.edu.au.
+
+There have also been an enourmous number of contributors to Samba from
+all over the world. A partial list of these contributors is included
+in the CREDITS section below. The list is, however, badly out of
+date. More up to date info may be obtained from the change-log that
+comes with the Samba source code.
+
+.SH CONTRIBUTIONS
+
+If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, then I suggest you
+join the Samba mailing list.
+
+If you have patches to submit or bugs to report then you may mail them
+directly to samba-bugs@anu.edu.au. Note, however, that due to the
+enourmous popularity of this package I may take some time to repond to
+mail. I prefer patches in "diff -u" format.

+.TH SMB.CONF 5 11/10/94 smb.conf smb.conf
+.SH NAME
+smb.conf \- configuration file for smbd
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B smb.conf
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B smb.conf
+file is a configuration file for the Samba suite.
+
+.B smb.conf
+contains runtime configuration information for the
+.B smbd
+program. The
+.B smbd
+program provides LanManager-like services to clients
+using the SMB protocol.
+
+.SH FILE FORMAT
+The file consists of sections and parameters. A section begins with the 
+name of the section in square brackets and continues until the next
+section begins. Sections contain parameters of the form 'name = value'.
+
+The file is line-based - that is, each newline-terminated line represents
+either a comment, a section name or a parameter.
+
+Section and parameter names are not case sensitive.
+
+Only the first equals sign in a parameter is significant. Whitespace before 
+or after the first equals sign is discarded. Leading, trailing and internal
+whitespace in section and parameter names is irrelevant. Leading and
+trailing whitespace in a parameter value is discarded. Internal whitespace
+within a parameter value is retained verbatim.
+
+Any line beginning with a semicolon is ignored, as are lines containing 
+only whitespace.
+
+Any line ending in a \\ is "continued" on the next line in the
+customary unix fashion.
+
+The values following the equals sign in parameters are all either a string
+(no quotes needed) or a boolean, which may be given as yes/no, 0/1 or
+true/false. Case is not significant in boolean values, but is preserved
+in string values. Some items such as create modes are numeric.
+.SH SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS
+Each section in the configuration file describes a service. The section name
+is the service name and the parameters within the section define the service's
+attributes.
+
+There are three special sections, [global], [homes] and [printers], which are
+described under 'special sections'. The following notes apply to ordinary 
+service descriptions.
+
+A service consists of a directory to which access is being given plus a 
+description of the access rights which are granted to the user of the 
+service. Some housekeeping options are also specifiable.
+
+Services are either filespace services (used by the client as an extension of
+their native file systems) or printable services (used by the client to access
+print services on the host running the server).
+
+Services may be guest services, in which case no password is required to
+access them. A specified guest account is used to define access privileges
+in this case.
+
+Services other than guest services will require a password to access
+them. The client provides the username. As many clients only provide
+passwords and not usernames, you may specify a list of usernames to
+check against the password using the "user=" option in the service
+definition. 
+
+Note that the access rights granted by the server are masked by the access
+rights granted to the specified or guest user by the host system. The 
+server does not grant more access than the host system grants.
+
+The following sample section defines a file space service. The user has write
+access to the path /home/bar. The service is accessed via the service name 
+"foo":
+
+ 	[foo]
+ 		path = /home/bar
+ 		writable = true
+
+The following sample section defines a printable service. The service is 
+readonly, but printable. That is, the only write access permitted is via 
+calls to open, write to and close a spool file. The 'guest ok' parameter 
+means access will be permitted as the default guest user (specified elsewhere):
+
+ 	[aprinter]
+ 		path = /usr/spool/public
+ 		read only = true
+ 		printable = true
+ 		public = true
+
+.SH SPECIAL SECTIONS
+
+.SS The [global] section
+.RS 3
+Parameters in this section apply to the server as a whole, or are defaults
+for services which do not specifically define certain items. See the notes
+under 'Parameters' for more information.
+.RE
+
+.SS The [homes] section
+.RS 3
+If a section called 'homes' is included in the configuration file, services
+connecting clients to their home directories can be created on the fly by the
+server.
+
+When the connection request is made, the existing services are scanned. If a
+match is found, it is used. If no match is found, the requested service name is
+treated as a user name and looked up in the local passwords file. If the
+name exists and the correct password has been given, a service is created
+by cloning the [homes] section.
+
+Some modifications are then made to the newly created section:
+
+.RS 3
+The service name is changed from 'homes' to the located username
+
+If no path was given, the path is set to the user's home directory.
+.RE
+
+If you decide to use a path= line in your [homes] section then you may
+find it useful to use the %S macro. For example path=/data/pchome/%S
+would be useful if you have different home directories for your PCs
+than for unix access.
+
+This is a fast and simple way to give a large number of clients access to
+their home directories with a minimum of fuss.
+
+A similar process occurs if the requested service name is "homes", except that
+the service name is not changed to that of the requesting user. This method
+of using the [homes] section works well if different users share a client PC.
+
+The [homes] section can specify all the parameters a normal service section
+can specify, though some make more sense than others. The following is a 
+typical and suitable [homes] section:
+
+ 	[homes]
+ 		writable = yes
+
+An important point:
+
+.RS 3
+If guest access is specified in the [homes] section, all home directories will
+be accessible to all clients
+.B without a password.
+In the very unlikely event
+that this is actually desirable, it would be wise to also specify read only
+access.
+.RE
+.RE
+
+Note that the browseable flag for auto home directories will be
+inherited from the global browseable flag, not the [homes] browseable
+flag. This is useful as it means setting browseable=no in the [homes]
+section will hide the [homes] service but make any auto home
+directories visible.
+
+.SS The [printers] section
+.RS 3
+This section works like [homes], but for printers.
+
+If a [printers] section occurs in the configuration file, users are able 
+to connect to any printer specified in the local host's printcap file.
+
+When a connection request is made, the existing services are scanned. If a
+match is found, it is used. If no match is found, but a [homes] section
+exists, it is used as described above. Otherwise, the requested service name is
+treated as a printer name and the appropriate printcap file is scanned to
+see if the requested service name is a valid printer name. If a match is
+found, a new service is created by cloning the [printers] section.
+
+A few modifications are then made to the newly created section:
+
+.RS 3
+The service name is set to the located printer name
+
+If no printer name was given, the printer name is set to the located printer
+name
+
+If the service does not permit guest access and no username was given, the 
+username is set to the located printer name.
+.RE
+
+Note that the [printers] service MUST be printable - if you specify otherwise,
+the server will refuse to load the configuration file.
+
+Typically the path specified would be that of a world-writable spool directory
+with the sticky bit set on it. A typical [printers] entry would look like this:
+
+ 	[printers]
+ 		path = /usr/spool/public
+ 		writable = no
+ 		public = yes
+ 		printable = yes 
+
+All aliases given for a printer in the printcap file are legitimate printer
+names as far as the server is concerned. If your printing subsystem doesn't
+work like that, you will have to set up a pseudo-printcap. This is a file
+consisting of one or more lines like this:
+
+        alias|alias|alias|alias...
+
+Each alias should be an acceptable printer name for your printing 
+subsystem. In the [global] section, specify the new file as your printcap.
+The server will then only recognise names found in your pseudo-printcap,
+which of course can contain whatever aliases you like. The same technique
+could be used simply to limit access to a subset of your local printers.
+
+An alias, by the way, is defined as any component of the first entry of a 
+printcap record. Records are separated by newlines, components (if there are 
+more than one) are separated by vertical bar symbols ("|").
+.SH PARAMETERS
+Parameters define the specific attributes of services.
+
+Some parameters are specific to the [global] section (eg., security).
+Some parameters are usable in all sections (eg., create mode). All others are
+permissible only in normal sections. For the purposes of the following
+descriptions the [homes] and [printers] sections will be considered normal.
+The letter 'G' in parentheses indicates that a parameter is specific to the
+[global] section. The letter 'S' indicates that a parameter can be
+specified in a secvice specific section. Note that all S parameters
+can also be specified in the [global] section - in which case they
+will define the default behaviour for all services.
+
+Parameters are arranged here in alphabetical order - this may not create
+best bedfellows, but at least you can find them! Where there are synonyms,
+the preferred synonym is described, others refer to the preferred synonym.
+
+.SS VARIABLE SUBSTITUTIONS
+
+Many of the strings that are settable in the config file can take
+substitutions. For example the option "path = /tmp/%u" would be
+interpreted as "path = /tmp/john" if the user connected with the
+username john.
+
+These substitutions are mostly noted in the descriptions below, but
+there are some general substitions which apply whenever they might be
+relevant. These are:
+
+%S = the name of the current service, if any
+
+%P = the root directory of the current service, if any
+
+%u = user name of the current service, if any
+
+%g = primary group name of %u
+
+%U = session user name (the user name that the client wanted, not
+necessarily the same as the one they got)
+
+%G = primary group name of %U
+
+%H = the home directory of the user given by %u
+
+%v = the Samba version
+
+%h = the hostname that Samba is running on
+
+%m = the netbios name of the client machine (very useful)
+
+%L = the netbios name of the server. This allows you to change your
+config based on what the client calls you. Your server can have a "dual
+personality".
+
+%M = the internet name of the client machine
+
+%d = The process id of the current server process
+
+%a = the architecture of the remote machine. Only some are recognised,
+and those may not be 100% reliable. It currently recognises Samba,
+WfWg, WinNT and Win95. Anything else will be known as "UNKNOWN". If it
+gets it wrong then sending me a level 3 log should allow me to fix it.
+
+%I = The IP address of the client machine
+
+%T = the current date and time
+
+There are some quite creative things that can be done with these
+substitutions and other smb.conf options.
+
+.SS NAME MANGLING
+
+Samba supports "name mangling" so that Dos and Windows clients can use
+files that don't conform to the 8.3 format. It can also be set to adjust
+the case of 8.3 format filenames.
+
+There are several options that control the way mangling is performed,
+and they are grouped here rather than listed separately. For the
+defaults look at the output of the testparm program.
+
+All of these options can be set separately for each service (or
+globally, of course).
+
+The options are:
+
+"mangle case = yes/no" controls if names that have characters that
+aren't of the "default" case are mangled. For example, if this is yes
+then a name like "Mail" would be mangled. Default no.
+
+"case sensitive = yes/no" controls whether filenames are case
+sensitive. If they aren't then Samba must do a filename search and
+match on passed names. Default no.
+
+"default case = upper/lower" controls what the default case is for new
+filenames. Default lower.
+
+"preserve case = yes/no" controls if new files are created with the
+case that the client passes, or if they are forced to be the "default"
+case. Default no.
+
+"short preserve case = yes/no" controls if new files which conform to 8.3
+syntax, that is all in upper case and of suitable length, are created
+upper case, or if they are forced to be the "default" case. This option can
+be use with "preserve case = yes" to permit long filenames to retain their
+case, while short names are lowered. Default no.

+.SS EXPLANATION OF EACH PARAMETER
+.RS 3
+
+.SS admin users (G)
+
+This is a list of users who will be granted administrative privilages
+on the share. This means that they will do all file operations as the
+super-user (root).
+
+You should use this option very carefully, as any user in this list
+will be able to do anything they like on the share, irrespective of
+file permissions.
+
+.B Default:
+	no admin users
+
+.B Example:
+	admin users = jason
+
+.SS auto services (G)
+This is a list of services that you want to be automatically added to
+the browse lists. This is most useful for homes and printers services
+that would otherwise not be visible.
+
+Note that if you just want all printers in your printcap file loaded
+then the "load printers" option is easier.
+
+.B Default:
+	no auto services
+
+.B Example:
+	auto services = fred lp colorlp
+
+
+.SS allow hosts (S)
+A synonym for this parameter is 'hosts allow'.
+
+This parameter is a comma delimited set of hosts which are permitted to access
+a services. If specified in the [global] section, matching hosts will be
+allowed access to any service that does not specifically exclude them from
+access. Specific services my have their own list, which override those
+specified in the [global] section.
+
+You can specify the hosts by name or IP number. For example, you could
+restrict access to only the hosts on a Class C subnet with something like
+"allow hosts = 150.203.5.". The full syntax of the list is described in
+the man page
+.B hosts_access(5).
+
+You can also specify hosts by network/netmask pairs and by netgroup
+names if your system supports netgroups. The EXCEPT keyword can also
+be used to limit a wildcard list. The following examples may provide
+some help:
+
+Example 1: allow all IPs in 150.203.*.* except one
+
+	hosts allow = 150.203. EXCEPT 150.203.6.66
+
+Example 2: allow hosts that match the given network/netmask
+
+	hosts allow = 150.203.15.0/255.255.255.0
+
+Example 3: allow a couple of hosts
+
+	hosts allow = lapland, arvidsjaur
+
+Example 4: allow only hosts in netgroup "foonet" or localhost, but 
+deny access from one particular host
+
+ 	hosts allow = @foonet, localhost
+ 	hosts deny = pirate
+
+Note that access still requires suitable user-level passwords.
+
+See testparm(1) for a way of testing your host access to see if it
+does what you expect.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	none (ie., all hosts permitted access)
+
+.B Example:
+ 	allow hosts = 150.203.5. myhost.mynet.edu.au
+
+.SS alternate permissions (S)
+
+This option affects the way the "read only" DOS attribute is produced
+for unix files. If this is false then the read only bit is set for
+files on writeable shares which the user cannot write to.
+
+If this is true then it is set for files whos user write bit is not set.
+
+The latter behaviour of useful for when users copy files from each
+others directories, and use a file manager that preserves
+permissions. Without this option they may get annoyed as all copied
+files will have the "read only" bit set.
+
+.B Default:
+	alternate permissions = no
+
+.B Example:
+	alternate permissions = yes
+
+.SS available (S)
+This parameter lets you 'turn off' a service. If 'available = no', then
+ALL attempts to connect to the service will fail. Such failures are logged.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	available = yes
+
+.B Example:
+ 	available = no
+.SS browseable (S)
+This controls whether this share is seen in the list of available
+shares in a net view and in the browse list.
+
+.B Default:
+	browseable = Yes
+
+.B Example: 
+	browseable = No
+
+.SS case sig names (G)
+See "case sensitive"
+
+.SS comment (S)
+This is a text field that is seen when a client does a net view to
+list what shares are available. It will also be used when browsing is
+fully supported.
+
+.B Default:
+	No comment string
+
+.B Example:
+	comment = Fred's Files
+
+.SS config file (G)
+
+This allows you to override the config file to use, instead of the
+default (usually smb.conf). There is a chicken and egg problem here as
+this option is set in the config file! 
+
+For this reason, if the name of the config file has changed when the
+parameters are loaded then it will reload them from the new config
+file.
+
+This option takes the usual substitutions, which can be very useful.
+
+If thew config file doesn't exist then it won't be loaded (allowing
+you to special case the config files of just a few clients).
+
+.B Example:
+	config file = /usr/local/samba/smb.conf.%m
+
+.SS copy (S)
+This parameter allows you to 'clone' service entries. The specified
+service is simply duplicated under the current service's name. Any 
+parameters specified in the current section will override those in the
+section being copied.
+
+This feature lets you set up a 'template' service and create similar 
+services easily. Note that the service being copied must occur earlier 
+in the configuration file than the service doing the copying.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	none
+
+.B Example:
+ 	copy = otherservice
+.SS create mask (S)
+A synonym for this parameter is 'create mode'.
+
+This parameter is the octal modes which are used when converting DOS modes 
+to Unix modes.
+
+Note that Samba will or this value with 0700 as you must have at least
+user read, write and execute for Samba to work properly.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	create mask = 0755
+
+.B Example:
+ 	create mask = 0775
+.SS create mode (S)
+See
+.B create mask.
+.SS dead time (G)
+The value of the parameter (a decimal integer) represents the number of
+minutes of inactivity before a connection is considered dead, and it
+is disconnected. The deadtime only takes effect if the number of open files
+is zero.
+
+This is useful to stop a server's resources being exhausted by a large
+number of inactive connections.
+
+Most clients have an auto-reconnect feature when a connection is broken so
+in most cases this parameter should be transparent to users.
+
+Using this parameter with a timeout of a few minutes is recommended
+for most systems.
+
+A deadtime of zero indicates that no auto-disconnection should be performed.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	dead time = 0
+
+.B Example:
+ 	dead time = 15
+.SS debug level (G)
+The value of the parameter (an integer) allows the debug level
+(logging level) to be specified in the smb.conf file. This is to give
+greater flexibility in the configuration of the system.
+
+The default will be the debug level specified on the command line.
+
+.B Example:
+ 	debug level = 3
+.SS default (G)
+See
+.B default service.
+.SS default case (S)
+
+See the section on "NAME MANGLING" Also note the addition of "short
+preserve case"
+
+.SS default service (G)
+A synonym for this parameter is 'default'.
+
+This parameter specifies the name of a service which will be connected to
+if the service actually requested cannot be found. Note that the square
+brackets are NOT given in the parameter value (see example below).
+
+There is no default value for this parameter. If this parameter is not given,
+attempting to connect to a nonexistent service results in an error.
+
+Typically the default service would be a public, read-only service.
+
+Also not that s of 1.9.14 the apparent service name will be changed to
+equal that of the requested service, this is very useful as it allows
+you to use macros like %S to make a wildcard service.
+
+Note also that any _ characters in the name of the service used in the
+default service will get mapped to a /. This allows for interesting
+things.
+
+
+.B Example:
+ 	default service = pub
+        
+        [pub]
+             path = /%S
+          
+
+.SS deny hosts (S)
+A synonym for this parameter is 'hosts deny'.
+
+The opposite of 'allow hosts' - hosts listed here are NOT permitted
+access to services unless the specific services have their own lists to
+override this one. Where the lists conflict, the 'allow' list takes precedence.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	none (ie., no hosts specifically excluded)
+
+.B Example:
+  	deny hosts = 150.203.4. badhost.mynet.edu.au
+.SS dfree command (G)
+The dfree command setting should only be used on systems where a
+problem occurs with the internal disk space calculations. This has
+been known to happen with Ultrix, but may occur with other operating
+systems. The symptom that was seen was an error of "Abort Retry
+Ignore" at the end of each directory listing.
+
+This setting allows the replacement of the internal routines to
+calculate the total disk space and amount available with an external
+routine. The example below gives a possible script that might fulfill
+this function. 
+
+The external program will be passed a single parameter indicating a
+directory in the filesystem being queried. This will typically consist
+of the string "./". The script should return two integers in ascii. The
+first should be the total disk space in blocks, and the second should
+be the number of available blocks. An optional third return value
+can give the block size in bytes. The default blocksize is 1024 bytes.
+
+Note: Your script should NOT be setuid or setgid and should be owned by
+(and writable only by) root!
+
+.B Default:
+ 	By default internal routines for determining the disk capacity
+and remaining space will be used.
+
+.B Example:
+ 	dfree command = /usr/local/smb/dfree
+
+	Where the script dfree (which must be made executable) could be
+
+ 	#!/bin/sh
+ 	df $1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $2" "$4}'
+
+	or perhaps (on Sys V)
+
+	#!/bin/sh
+	/usr/bin/df -k $1 | tail -1 | awk '{print $3" "$5}'
+
+
+	Note that you may have to replace the command names with full
+path names on some systems.
+.SS directory (S)
+See
+.B path.
+.SS dont descend (S)
+There are certain directories on some systems (eg., the /proc tree under
+Linux) that are either not of interest to clients or are infinitely deep
+(recursive). This parameter allows you to specify a comma-delimited list
+of directories that the server should always show as empty.
+
+Note that Samba can be very fussy about the exact format of the "dont
+descend" entries. For example you ma need "./proc" instead of just
+"/proc". Experimentation is the best policy :-)
+
+.B Default:
+ 	none (ie., all directories are OK to descend)
+
+.B Example:
+  	dont descend = /proc,/dev
+
+.SS encrypt passwords (G)
+
+This boolean controls whether encrypted passwords will be negotiated
+with the cient. Note that this option has no effect if you haven't
+compiled in the necessary des libraries and encryption code. It
+defaults to no.
+
+.SS exec (S)
+
+This is an alias for preexec
+
+
+.SS force group (S)
+This specifies a group name that all connections to this service
+should be made as. This may be useful for sharing files.
+
+.B Default:
+       no forced group
+
+.B Example:
+       force group = agroup
+
+.SS force user (S)
+This specifies a user name that all connections to this service
+should be made as. This may be useful for sharing files. You should
+also use it carefully as using it incorrectly can cause security
+problems.
+
+This user name only gets used once a connection is established. Thus
+clients still need to connect as a valid user and supply a valid
+password. Once connected, all file operations will be performed as the
+"forced user", not matter what username the client connected as.
+
+.B Default:
+       no forced user
+
+.B Example:
+       force user = auser
+
+.SS guest account (S)
+This is a username which will be used for access to services which are
+specified as 'guest ok' (see below). Whatever privileges this user has
+will be available to any client connecting to the guest
+service. Typically this user will exist in the password file, but will
+not have a valid login. If a username is specified in a given service,
+the specified username overrides this one.
+
+One some systems the account "nobody" may not be able to print. Use
+another account in this case. You should test this by trying to log in
+as your guest user (perhaps by using the "su -" command) and trying to
+print using lpr.
+
+Note that as of version 1.9 of Samba this option may be set
+differently for each service.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	specified at compile time
+
+.B Example:
+ 	guest account = nobody
+.SS getwd cache (G)
+This is a tuning option. When this is enabled a cacheing algorithm will
+be used to reduce the time taken for getwd() calls. This can have a
+significant impact on performance, especially when widelinks is False.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	getwd cache = No
+
+.B Example:
+ 	getwd cache = Yes
+.SS guest ok (S)
+See
+.B public.
+.SS guest only (S)
+If this parameter is 'yes' for a service, then only guest connections to the
+service are permitted. This parameter will have no affect if "guest ok" or
+"public" is not set for the service.
+
+See the section below on user/password validation for more information about
+this option.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	guest only = no
+
+.B Example:
+ 	guest only = yes
+.SS hide dot files (S)
+This is a boolean parameter that controls whether files starting with
+a dot appear as hidden files.
+
+.B Default:
+	hide dot files = yes
+
+.B Example:
+	hide dot files = no
+.SS hosts allow (S)
+See
+.B allow hosts.
+.SS hosts deny (S)
+See
+.B deny hosts.
+
+.SS group (S)
+This is an alias for "force group" and is only kept for compatability
+with old versions of Samba. It may be removed in future versions.
+
+.SS hosts equiv (G)
+If this global parameter is a non-null string, it specifies the name of
+a file to read for the names of hosts and users who will be allowed access
+without specifying a password.
+
+This is not be confused with 
+.B allow hosts
+which is about hosts access to services and is more useful for guest services.
+.B hosts equiv
+may be useful for NT clients which will not supply passwords to samba.
+
+NOTE: The use of hosts.equiv can be a major security hole. This is
+because you are trusting the PC to supply the correct username. It is
+very easy to get a PC to supply a false username. I recommend that the
+hosts.equiv option be only used if you really know what you are doing,
+or perhaps on a home network where you trust your wife and kids :-)
+
+.B Default
+	No host equivalences
+
+.B Example
+	hosts equiv = /etc/hosts.equiv
+
+.SS invalid users (S)
+This is a list of users that should not be allowed to login to this
+service. This is really a "paranoid" check to absolutely ensure an
+improper setting does not breach your security.
+
+A name starting with @ is interpreted as a unix group.
+
+The current servicename is substituted for %S. This is useful in the
+[homes] section.
+
+See also "valid users"
+
+.B Default
+	No invalid users
+
+.B Example
+	invalid users = root fred admin @wheel
+
+.SS include (G)
+
+This allows you to inlcude one config file inside another. the file is
+included literally, as though typed in place.
+
+It takes the standard substitutions, except %u, %P and %S
+
+.SS keep alive (G)
+The value of the parameter (an integer) represents the number of seconds 
+between 'keepalive' packets. If this parameter is zero, no keepalive packets
+will be sent. Keepalive packets, if sent, allow the server to tell whether a
+client is still present and responding.
+
+Keepalives should, in general, not be needed if the socket being used
+has the SO_KEEPALIVE attribute set on it (see "socket
+options"). Basically you should only use this option if you strike
+difficulties.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	keep alive = 0
+
+.B Example:
+ 	keep alive = 60
+.SS load printers (G)
+A boolean variable that controls whether all printers in the printcap
+will be loaded for browsing by default. 
+
+.B Default:
+	load printers = no
+
+.B Example:
+	load printers = yes
+
+.SS lock directory (G)
+This options specifies the directory where lock files will be placed.
+The lock files are used to implement the "max connections" option.
+
+.B Default:
+	lock directory = /tmp/samba
+
+.B Example: 
+	lock directory = /usr/local/samba/locks
+.SS locking (S)
+This controls whether or not locking will be performed by the server in 
+response to lock requests from the client.
+
+If "locking = no", all lock and unlock requests will appear to succeed and 
+all lock queries will indicate that the queried lock is clear.
+
+If "locking = yes", real locking will be performed by the server.
+
+This option may be particularly useful for read-only filesystems which
+do not need locking (such as cdrom drives).
+
+Be careful about disabling locking either globally or in a specific
+service, as lack of locking may result in data corruption.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	locking = yes
+
+.B Example:
+ 	locking = no
+
+.SS log file (G)
+
+This options allows you to override the name of the Samba log file
+(also known as the debug file).
+
+This option takes the standard substitutions, allowing you to have
+separate log files for each user or machine.
+
+.B Example:
+	log file = /usr/local/samba/log.%m
+
+.SS log level (G)
+see "debug level"
+
+.SS lppause command (S)
+This parameter specifies the command to be executed on the server host in
+order to stop printing or spooling a specific print job.
+
+This command should be a program or script which takes a printer name and
+job number to pause the print job. Currently I don't know of any print
+spooler system that can do this with a simple option, except for the PPR
+system from Trinity College (ppr\-dist.trincoll.edu/pub/ppr). One way
+of implementing this is by using job priorities, where jobs having a too
+low priority wont be sent to the printer. See also the lppause command.
+
+If a %p is given then the printername is put in it's place. A %j is
+replaced with the job number (an integer).
+On HPUX (see printing=hpux), if the -p%p option is added to the lpq
+command, the job will show up with the correct status, i.e. if the job
+priority is lower than the set fence priority it will have the PAUSED
+status, whereas if the priority is equal or higher it will have the
+SPOOLED or PRINTING status.
+
+Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path in the lppause
+command as the PATH may not be available to the server.
+
+.B Default:
+        Currently no default value is given to this string
+
+.B Example for HPUX:
+        lppause command = /usr/bin/lpalt %p-%j -p0
+
+.SS lpq cache time (G)
+
+This controls how long lpq info will be cached for to prevent the lpq
+command being called too often. A separate cache is kept for each
+variation of the lpq command used by the system, so if you use
+different lpq commands for different users then they won't share cache
+information.
+
+The cache files are stored in /tmp/lpq.xxxx where xxxx is a hash
+of the lpq command in use.
+
+The default is 10 seconds, meaning that the cached results of a
+previous identical lpq command will be used if the cached data is less
+than 10 seconds old. A large value may be advisable if your lpq
+command is very slow.
+
+A value of 0 will disable cacheing completely.
+
+.B Default:
+	lpq cache time = 10
+
+.B Example:
+	lpq cache time = 30
+
+.SS lpq command (S)
+This parameter specifies the command to be executed on the server host in
+order to obtain "lpq"-style printer status information. 
+
+This command should be a program or script which takes a printer name
+as its only parameter and outputs printer status information. 
+
+Currently four styles of printer status information are supported;
+BSD, SYSV, AIX and HPUX. This covers most unix systems. You control
+which type is expected using the "printing =" option.
+
+Some clients (notably Windows for Workgroups) may not correctly send the
+connection number for the printer they are requesting status information
+about. To get around this, the server reports on the first printer service
+connected to by the client. This only happens if the connection number sent
+is invalid.
+
+If a %p is given then the printername is put in it's place. Otherwise
+it is placed at the end of the command.
+
+Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path in the lpq
+command as the PATH may not be available to the server.
+
+.B Default:
+        depends on the setting of "printing ="
+
+.B Example:
+ 	lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq %p
+
+.SS lpresume command (S)
+This parameter specifies the command to be executed on the server host in
+order to restart or continue printing or spooling a specific print job.
+
+This command should be a program or script which takes a printer name and
+job number to resume the print job. See also the lppause command.
+
+If a %p is given then the printername is put in it's place. A %j is
+replaced with the job number (an integer).
+
+Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path in the lpresume
+command as the PATH may not be available to the server.
+
+.B Default:
+        Currently no default value is given to this string
+
+.B Example for HPUX:
+        lpresume command = /usr/bin/lpalt %p-%j -p2
+
+.SS lprm command (S)
+This parameter specifies the command to be executed on the server host in
+order to delete a print job.
+
+This command should be a program or script which takes a printer name
+and job number, and deletes the print job.
+
+Currently four styles of printer control are supported; BSD, SYSV, AIX
+and HPUX. This covers most unix systems. You control which type is
+expected using the "printing =" option.
+
+If a %p is given then the printername is put in it's place. A %j is
+replaced with the job number (an integer).
+
+Note that it is good practice to include the absolute path in the lprm
+command as the PATH may not be available to the server.
+
+.B Default:
+        depends on the setting of "printing ="
+
+.B Example 1:
+ 	lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
+
+.B Example 2:
+ 	lprm command = /usr/bin/cancel %p-%j
+
+.SS magic output (S)
+This parameter specifies the name of a file which will contain output
+created by a magic script (see
+.I magic script
+below).
+
+Warning: If two clients use the same magic script in the same directory the
+output file content is undefined.
+.B Default:
+ 	magic output = <magic script name>.out
+
+.B Example:
+ 	magic output = myfile.txt
+.SS magic script (S)
+This parameter specifies the name of a file which, if opened, will be
+executed by the server when the file is closed. This allows a Unix script
+to be sent to the Samba host and executed on behalf of the connected user.
+
+Scripts executed in this way will be deleted upon completion, permissions
+permitting.
+
+If the script generates output, output will be sent to the file specified by
+the
+.I magic output
+parameter (see above).
+
+Note that some shells are unable to interpret scripts containing
+carriage-return-linefeed instead of linefeed as the end-of-line
+marker. Magic scripts must be executable "as is" on the host, which
+for some hosts and some shells will require filtering at the DOS end.
+
+Magic scripts are EXPERIMENTAL and should NOT be relied upon.
+.B Default:
+ 	None. Magic scripts disabled.
+
+.B Example:
+ 	magic script = user.csh
+.SS mangled map (S)
+This is for those who want to directly map UNIX file names which are
+not representable on DOS.  The mangling of names is not always what is
+needed.  In particular you may have documents with file extensiosn
+that differ between dos and unix. For example, under unix it is common
+to use .html for HTML files, whereas under dos .htm is more commonly
+used.
+
+So to map 'html' to 'htm' you put:
+
+  mangled map = (*.html *.htm)
+
+One very useful case is to remove the annoying ;1 off the ends of
+filenames on some CDROMS (only visible under some unixes). To do this
+use a map of (*;1 *)
+
+.B default:
+	no mangled map
+
+.B Example:
+	mangled map = (*;1 *)
+
+.SS mangle case (S)
+
+See the section on "NAME MANGLING"
+
+.SS mangled names (S)
+This controls whether non-DOS names under Unix should be mapped to
+DOS-compatible names ("mangled") and made visible, or whether non-DOS names
+should simply be ignored.
+
+See the section on "NAME MANGLING" for details on how to control the
+mangling process.
+
+If mangling is used then the mangling algorithm is as follows:
+.RS
+- the first (up to) five alphanumeric characters before the rightmost dot of
+the filename are preserved, forced to upper case, and appear as the first (up
+to) five characters of the mangled name.
+
+- a tilde ("~") is appended to the first part of the mangled name, followed
+by a two-character unique sequence, based on the origonal root name 
+(i.e., the original filename minus its final extension). The final
+extension is included in the hash calculation only if it contains any upper
+case characters or is longer than three characters.
+
+Note that the character to use may be specified using the "mangling
+char" option, if you don't like ~.
+
+- the first three alphanumeric characters of the final extension are preserved,
+forced to upper case and appear as the extension of the mangled name. The 
+final extension is defined as that part of the original filename after the
+rightmost dot. If there are no dots in the filename, the mangled name will
+have no extension (except in the case of hidden files - see below).
+
+- files whose Unix name begins with a dot will be presented as DOS hidden
+files. The mangled name will be created as for other filenames, but with the
+leading dot removed and "___" as its extension regardless of actual original
+extension (that's three underscores).
+.RE
+
+The two-digit hash value consists of upper case alphanumeric characters.
+
+This algorithm can cause name collisions only if files in a directory share
+the same first five alphanumeric characters. The probability of such a clash 
+is 1/1300.
+
+The name mangling (if enabled) allows a file to be copied between Unix
+directories from DOS while retaining the long Unix filename. Unix files can
+be renamed to a new extension from DOS and will retain the same basename. 
+Mangled names do not change between sessions.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	mangled names = yes
+
+.B Example:
+ 	mangled names = no
+.SS mangling char (S)
+This controls what character is used as the "magic" character in name
+mangling. The default is a ~ but this may interfere with some
+software. Use this option to set it to whatever you prefer.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	mangling char = ~
+
+.B Example:
+ 	mangling char = ^
+
+.SS max log size (G)
+
+This option (an integer in kilobytes) specifies the max size the log
+file should grow to. Samba periodically checks the size and if it is
+exceeded it will rename the file, adding a .old extension.
+
+A size of 0 means no limit.
+
+.B Default:
+	max log size = 5000
+
+.B Example:
+ 	max log size = 1000
+
+.SS max xmit (G)
+
+This option controls the maximum packet size that will be negotiated
+by Samba. The default is 65535, which is the maximum. In some cases
+you may find you get better performance with a smaller value. A value
+below 2048 is likely to cause problems.
+
+.B Default:
+	max xmit = 65535
+
+.B Example:
+ 	max xmit = 8192
+
+.SS mangled stack (G)
+This parameter controls the number of mangled names that should be cached in
+the Samba server.
+
+This stack is a list of recently mangled base names (extensions are only
+maintained if they are longer than 3 characters or contains upper case
+characters).
+
+The larger this value, the more likely it is that mangled names can be
+successfully converted to correct long Unix names. However, large stack
+sizes will slow most directory access. Smaller stacks save memory in the
+server (each stack element costs 256 bytes).
+
+It is not possible to absolutely guarantee correct long file names, so
+be prepared for some surprises!
+
+.B Default:
+ 	mangled stack = 50
+
+.B Example:
+ 	mangled stack = 100
+
+.SS map archive (S)
+This controls whether the DOS archive attribute should be mapped to Unix
+execute bits.  The DOS archive bit is set when a file has been modified
+since its last backup.  One motivation for this option it to keep Samba/your
+PC from making any file it touches from becoming executable under UNIX.
+This can be quite annoying for shared source code, documents,  etc...
+
+.B Default:
+      map archive = yes
+
+.B Example:
+      map archive = no
+
+.SS map hidden (S)
+This controls whether DOS style hidden files should be mapped to Unix
+execute bits.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	map hidden = no
+
+.B Example:
+ 	map hidden = yes
+.SS map system (S)
+This controls whether DOS style system files should be mapped to Unix
+execute bits.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	map system = no
+
+.B Example:
+ 	map system = yes
+.SS max connections (S)
+This option allows the number of simultaneous connections to a
+service to be limited. If "max connections" is greater than 0 then
+connections will be refused if this number of connections to the
+service are already open. A value of zero mean an unlimited number of
+connections may be made.
+
+Record lock files are used to implement this feature. The lock files
+will be stored in the directory specified by the "lock directory" option.
+
+.B Default:
+	max connections = 0
+
+.B Example:
+	max connections = 10
+.SS only user (S)
+This is a boolean option that controls whether connections with
+usernames not in the user= list will be allowed. By default this
+option is disabled so a client can supply a username to be used by
+the server.
+
+Note that this also means Samba won't try to deduce usernames from the
+service name. This can be annoying for the [homes] section. To get
+around this you could use "user = %S" which means your "user" list
+will be just the service name, which for home directories is the name
+of the user.
+
+.B Default: 
+	only user = False
+
+.B Example: 
+	only user = True
+
+.SS message command (G)
+
+This specifies what command to run when the server receives a WinPopup
+style message.
+
+This would normally be a command that would deliver the message
+somehow. How this is to be done is up to your imagination.
+
+What I use is:
+
+   message command = csh -c 'xedit %s;rm %s' &
+
+This delivers the message using xedit, then removes it
+afterwards. NOTE THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS COMMAND RETURN
+IMMEDIATELY. That's why I have the & on the end. If it doesn't return
+immediately then your PCs may freeze when sending messages (they
+should recover after 30secs, hopefully).
+
+All messages are delivered as the global guest user. The command takes
+the standard substitutions, although %u won't work (%U may be better
+in this case).
+
+Apart from the standard substitutions, some additional ones apply. In
+particular:
+
+%s = the filename containing the message
+
+%t = the destination that the message was sent to (probably the server
+name)
+
+%f = who the message is from
+
+You could make this command send mail, or whatever else takes your
+fancy. Please let me know of any really interesting ideas you have.
+
+Here's a way of sending the messages as mail to root:
+
+message command = /bin/mail -s 'message from %f on %m' root < %s; rm %s
+
+If you don't have a message command then the message won't be
+delivered and Samba will tell the sender there was an
+error. Unfortunately WfWg totally ignores the error code and carries
+on regardless, saying that the message was delivered.
+
+If you want to silently delete it then try "message command = rm %s".
+
+For the really adventurous, try something like this:
+
+message command = csh -c 'csh < %s |& /usr/local/samba/smbclient \\
+                  -M %m; rm %s' &
+
+this would execute the command as a script on the server, then give
+them the result in a WinPopup message. Note that this could cause a
+loop if you send a message from the server using smbclient! You better
+wrap the above in a script that checks for this :-)
+
+.B Default:
+	no message command
+
+.B Example:
+        message command = csh -c 'xedit %s;rm %s' &
+
+.SS min print space (S)
+
+This sets the minimum amount of free disk space that must be available
+before a user will be able to spool a print job. It is specified in
+kilobytes. The default is 0, which means no limit.
+
+.B Default:
+	min print space = 0
+
+.B Example:
+	min print space = 2000
+
+.SS null passwords (G)
+Allow or disallow access to accounts that have null passwords. 
+
+.B Default:
+	null passwords = no
+
+.B Example:
+	null passwords = yes
+
+.SS os level (G)
+This integer value controls what level Samba advertises itself as for
+browse elections. See BROWSING.txt for details.
+
+.SS packet size (G)
+The maximum transmit packet size during a raw read. This option is no
+longer implemented as of version 1.7.00, and is kept only so old
+configuration files do not become invalid.
+
+.SS passwd chat (G)
+This string coontrols the "chat" conversation that takes places
+between smbd and the local password changing program to change the
+users password. The string describes a sequence of response-receive
+pairs that smbd uses to determine what to send to the passwd program
+and what to expect back. If the expected output is not received then
+the password is not changed.
+
+This chat sequence is often quite site specific, deppending on what
+local methods are used for password control (such as NIS+ etc).
+
+The string can contain the macros %o and %n which are substituted for
+the old and new passwords respectively. It can aso contain the
+standard macros \\n \\r \\t and \\s to give line-feed, carriage-return,
+tab and space.
+
+The string can also contain a * which matches any sequence of
+characters.
+
+Double quotes can be used to collect strings with spaces in them into
+a single string.
+
+If the send string in any part of the chat sequence is a fullstop "."
+then no string is sent. Similarly, is the expect string is a fullstop
+then no string is expected.
+
+.B Example:
+	passwd chat = "*Enter OLD password*" %o\\n "*Enter NEW password*" %n\\n \\
+                      "*Reenter NEW password*" %n\\n "*Password changed*"
+
+.B Default:
+	passwd chat = *old*password* %o\\n *new*password* %n\\n *new*password* %n\\n *changed*
+
+.SS passwd program (G)
+The name of a program that can be used to set user passwords.
+
+This is only necessary if you have enabled remote password changing at
+compile time. Any occurances of %u will be replaced with the user
+name.
+
+Also note that many passwd programs insist in "reasonable" passwords,
+such as a minimum length, or the inclusion of mixed case chars and
+digits. This can pose a problem as some clients (such as Windows for
+Workgroups) uppercase the password before sending it. 
+
+.B Default:
+	passwd program = /bin/passwd
+
+.B Example:
+	passwd program = /sbin/passwd %u
+
+.SS password level (G)
+Some client/server conbinations have difficulty with mixed-case passwords.
+One offending client is Windows for Workgroups, which for some reason forces
+passwords to upper case when using the LANMAN1 protocol, but leaves them alone
+when using COREPLUS!
+
+This parameter defines the maximum number of characters that may be upper case
+in passwords.
+
+For example, say the password given was "FRED". If
+.B password level
+is set to 1 (one), the following combinations would be tried if "FRED" failed:
+"Fred", "fred", "fRed", "frEd", "freD". If
+.B password level was set to 2 (two), the following combinations would also be
+tried: "FRed", "FrEd", "FreD", "fREd", "fReD", "frED". And so on.
+
+The higher value this parameter is set to the more likely it is that a mixed
+case password will be matched against a single case password. However, you
+should be aware that use of this parameter reduces security and increases the
+time taken to process a new connection.
+
+A value of zero will cause only two attempts to be made - the password as is
+and the password in all-lower case.
+
+If you find the connections are taking too long with this option then
+you probably have a slow crypt() routine. Samba now comes with a fast
+"ufc crypt" that you can select in the Makefile. You should also make
+sure the PASSWORD_LENGTH option is correct for your system in local.h
+and includes.h. On most systems only the first 8 chars of a password
+are significant so PASSWORD_LENGTH should be 8, but on some longer
+passwords are significant. The inlcudes.h file tries to select the
+right length for your system.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	password level = 0
+
+.B Example:
+ 	password level = 4
+
+.SS password server (G)
+
+By specifying the name of another SMB server (such as a WinNT box)
+with this option, and using "security = server" you can get Samba to
+do all it's username/password validation via a remote server.
+
+This options sets the name of the password server to use. It must be a
+netbios name, so if the machines netbios name is different from it's
+internet name then you may have to add it's netbios name to
+/etc/hosts.
+
+The password server much be a machine capable of using the "LM1.2X002"
+or the "LM NT 0.12" protocol, and it must be in user level security
+mode. 
+
+NOTE: Using a password server means your unix box (running Samba) is
+only as secure as your password server. DO NOT CHOOSE A PASSWORD
+SERVER THAT YOU DON'T COMPLETELY TRUST.
+
+Never point a Samba server at itself for password serving. This will
+cause a loop and could lock up your Samba server!
+
+The name of the password server takes the standard substitutions, but
+probably the only useful one is %m, which means the Samba server will
+use the incoming client as the password server. If you use this then
+you better trust your clients, and you better restrict them with hosts
+allow!
+
+If you list several hosts in the "password server" option then smbd
+will try each in turn till it finds one that responds. This is useful
+in case your primary server goes down.
+
+.SS path (S)
+A synonym for this parameter is 'directory'.
+
+This parameter specifies a directory to which the user of the service is to
+be given access. In the case of printable services, this is where print data 
+will spool prior to being submitted to the host for printing.
+
+For a printable service offering guest access, the service should be readonly
+and the path should be world-writable and have the sticky bit set. This is not
+mandatory of course, but you probably won't get the results you expect if you
+do otherwise.
+
+Any occurances of %u in the path will be replaced with the username
+that the client is connecting as. Any occurances of %m will be
+replaced by the name of the machine they are connecting from. These
+replacements are very useful for setting up pseudo home directories
+for users.
+
+Note that this path will be based on 'root dir' if one was specified.
+.B Default:
+ 	none
+
+.B Example:
+ 	path = /home/fred+ 
+
+.SS postexec (S)
+
+This option specifies a command to be run whenever the service is
+disconnected. It takes the usual substitutions. The command may be run
+as the root on some systems.
+
+An interesting example may be do unmount server resources:
+
+postexec = /etc/umount /cdrom
+
+See also preexec
+
+.B Default:
+      none (no command executed)
+
+.B Example:
+      postexec = echo \"%u disconnected from %S from %m (%I)\" >> /tmp/log
+
+.SS postscript (S)
+This parameter forces a printer to interpret the print files as
+postscript. This is done by adding a %! to the start of print output. 
+
+This is most useful when you have lots of PCs that persist in putting
+a control-D at the start of print jobs, which then confuses your
+printer.
+
+.B Default: 
+	postscript = False
+
+.B Example: 
+	postscript = True
+
+.SS preexec (S)
+
+This option specifies a command to be run whenever the service is
+connected to. It takes the usual substitutions.
+
+An interesting example is to send the users a welcome message every
+time they log in. Maybe a message of the day? Here is an example:
+
+preexec = csh -c 'echo \"Welcome to %S!\" | \
+       /usr/local/samba/smbclient -M %m -I %I' &
+
+Of course, this could get annoying after a while :-)
+
+See also postexec
+
+.B Default:
+	none (no command executed)
+
+.B Example:
+	preexec = echo \"%u connected to %S from %m (%I)\" >> /tmp/log
+
+.SS preferred master (G)
+This boolean parameter controls if Samba is a preferred master browser
+for its workgroup. Setting this gives it a slight edge in elections
+and also means it will automatically start an election when it starts
+up. 
+
+It is on by default.
+
+.SS preload
+This is an alias for "auto services"
+
+.SS preserve case (S)
+
+This controls if new filenames are created with the case that the
+client passes, or if they are forced to be the "default" case.
+
+.B Default:
+       preserve case = no
+
+See the section on "NAME MANGLING" for a fuller discussion.
+
+.SS print command (S)
+After a print job has finished spooling to a service, this command will be
+used via a system() call to process the spool file. Typically the command 
+specified will submit the spool file to the host's printing subsystem, but
+there is no requirement that this be the case. The server will not remove the
+spool file, so whatever command you specify should remove the spool file when
+it has been processed, otherwise you will need to manually remove old spool
+files.
+
+The print command is simply a text string. It will be used verbatim,
+with two exceptions: All occurrences of "%s" will be replaced by the
+appropriate spool file name, and all occurrences of "%p" will be
+replaced by the appropriate printer name. The spool file name is
+generated automatically by the server, the printer name is discussed
+below.
+
+The full path name will be used for the filename if %s is not preceded
+by a /. If you don't like this (it can stuff up some lpq output) then
+use %f instead. Any occurances of %f get replaced by the spool
+filename without the full path at the front.
+
+The print command MUST contain at least one occurrence of "%s" or %f -
+the "%p" is optional. At the time a job is submitted, if no printer
+name is supplied the "%p" will be silently removed from the printer
+command.
+
+If specified in the [global] section, the print command given will be used
+for any printable service that does not have its own print command specified.
+
+If there is neither a specified print command for a printable service nor a 
+global print command, spool files will be created but not processed and (most
+importantly) not removed.
+
+Note that printing may fail on some unixes from the "nobody"
+account. If this happens then create an alternative guest account that
+can print and set the "guest account" in the [global] section.
+
+You can form quite complex print commands by realising that they are
+just passed to a shell. For example the following will log a print
+job, print the file, then remove it. Note that ; is the usual
+separator for command in shell scripts.
+
+print command = echo Printing %s >> /tmp/print.log; lpr -P %p %s; rm %s
+
+You may have to vary this command considerably depending on how you
+normally print files on your system.
+
+.B Default:
+        print command = lpr -r -P %p %s
+
+.B Example:
+ 	print command = /usr/local/samba/myprintscript %p %s
+.SS print ok (S)
+See
+.B printable.
+.SS printable (S)
+A synonym for this parameter is 'print ok'.
+
+If this parameter is 'yes', then clients may open, write to and submit spool 
+files on the directory specified for the service.
+
+Note that a printable service will ALWAYS allow writing to the service path
+(user privileges permitting) via the spooling of print data. The 'read only'
+parameter controls only non-printing access to the resource.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	printable = no
+
+.B Example:
+ 	printable = yes
+
+.SS printing (G)
+This parameters controls how printer status information is interpreted
+on your system, and also affects the default values for the "print
+command", "lpq command" and "lprm command".
+
+Currently three printing styles are supported. They are "printing =
+bsd", "printing = sysv", "printing = hpux" and "printing = aix".
+
+To see what the defaults are for the other print commands when using
+these three options use the "testparm" program.
+
+
+.SS printcap name (G)
+This parameter may be used to override the compiled-in default printcap
+name used by the server (usually /etc/printcap). See the discussion of the
+[printers] section above for reasons why you might want to do this.
+
+For those of you without a printcap (say on SysV) you can just create a
+minimal file that looks like a printcap and set "printcap name =" in
+[global] to point at it.
+
+A minimal printcap file would look something like this:
+
+print1|My Printer 1
+print2|My Printer 2
+print3|My Printer 3
+print4|My Printer 4
+print5|My Printer 5
+
+where the | separates aliases of a printer. The fact that the second
+alias has a space in it gives a hint to Samba that it's a comment.
+
+NOTE: Under AIX the default printcap name is "/etc/qconfig". Samba
+will assume the file is in AIX "qconfig" format if the string
+"/qconfig" appears in the printcap filename.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	printcap name = /etc/printcap
+
+.B Example:
+ 	printcap name = /etc/myprintcap
+.SS printer (S)
+A synonym for this parameter is 'printer name'.
+
+This parameter specifies the name of the printer to which print jobs spooled
+through a printable service will be sent.
+
+If specified in the [global] section, the printer name given will be used
+for any printable service that does not have its own printer name specified.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	none (but may be 'lp' on many systems)
+
+.B Example:
+ 	printer name = laserwriter
+.SS printer name (S)
+See
+.B printer.
+.SS protocol (G)
+The value of the parameter (a string) is the highest protocol level that will
+be supported by the server. 
+
+Possible values are CORE, COREPLUS, LANMAN1, LANMAN2 and NT1. The relative
+merits of each are discussed in the README file.
+
+.B Default:
+	protocol = NT1
+
+.B Example:
+	protocol = LANMAN1
+.SS public (S)
+A synonym for this parameter is 'guest ok'.
+
+If this parameter is 'yes' for a service, then no password is required
+to connect to the service. Privileges will be those of the guest
+account.
+
+See the section below on user/password validation for more information about
+this option.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	public = no
+
+.B Example:
+ 	public = yes
+.SS read list (S)
+This is a list of users that are given read-only access to a
+service. If the connecting user is in this list then they will
+not be given write access, no matter what the "read only" option
+is set to. The list can include group names using the @group syntax.
+
+See also the "write list" option
+
+.B Default:
+     read list =
+
+.B Example:
+     read list = mary, @students
+
+.SS read only (S)
+See
+.B writable
+and
+.B write ok.
+Note that this is an inverted synonym for writable and write ok.
+.SS read prediction (G)
+This options enables or disables the read prediction code used to
+speed up reads from the server. When enabled the server will try to
+pre-read data from the last accessed file that was opened read-only
+while waiting for packets.
+
+.SS Default:
+	read prediction = False
+
+.SS Example:
+	read prediction = True
+.SS read raw (G)
+This parameter controls whether or not the server will support raw reads when
+transferring data to clients.
+
+If enabled, raw reads allow reads of 65535 bytes in one packet. This
+typically provides a major performance benefit.
+
+However, some clients either negotiate the allowable block size incorrectly
+or are incapable of supporting larger block sizes, and for these clients you
+may need to disable raw reads.
+
+In general this parameter should be viewed as a system tuning tool and left
+severely alone. See also
+.B write raw.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	read raw = yes
+
+.B Example:
+ 	read raw = no
+.SS read size (G)
+
+The option "read size" affects the overlap of disk reads/writes with
+network reads/writes. If the amount of data being transferred in
+several of the SMB commands (currently SMBwrite, SMBwriteX and
+SMBreadbraw) is larger than this value then the server begins writing
+the data before it has received the whole packet from the network, or
+in the case of SMBreadbraw, it begins writing to the network before
+all the data has been read from disk.
+
+This overlapping works best when the speeds of disk and network access
+are similar, having very little effect when the speed of one is much
+greater than the other.
+
+The default value is 2048, but very little experimentation has been
+done yet to determine the optimal value, and it is likely that the best
+value will vary greatly between systems anyway. A value over 65536 is
+pointless and will cause you to allocate memory unnecessarily.
+
+.B Default:
+	read size = 2048
+
+.B Example:
+	read size = 8192
+
+.SS revalidate (S)
+
+This options controls whether Samba will allow a previously validated
+username/password pair to be used to attach to a share. Thus if you
+connect to \\\\server\\share1 then to \\\\server\\share2 it won't
+automatically allow the client to request connection to the second
+share as the same username as the first without a password.
+
+If "revalidate" is True then the client will be denied automatic
+access as the same username.
+
+.B Default:
+	revalidate = False
+
+.B Example:
+	revalidate = True
+
+.SS root (G)
+See
+.B root directory.
+.SS root dir (G)
+See
+.B root directory.
+.SS root directory (G)
+Synonyms for this parameter are 'root dir' and 'root'.
+
+The server will chroot() to this directory on startup. This is not 
+strictly necessary for secure operation. Even without it the server
+will deny access to files not in one of the service entries. It may 
+also check for, and deny access to, soft links to other parts of the 
+filesystem, or attempts to use .. in file names to access other 
+directories (depending on the setting of the "wide links" parameter).
+
+Adding a "root dir" entry other than "/" adds an extra level of security, 
+but at a price. It absolutely ensures that no access is given to files not
+in the sub-tree specified in the "root dir" option, *including* some files 
+needed for complete operation of the server. To maintain full operability
+of the server you will need to mirror some system files into the "root dir"
+tree. In particular you will need to mirror /etc/passwd (or a subset of it),
+and any binaries or configuration files needed for printing (if required). 
+The set of files that must be mirrored is operating system dependent.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	root directory = /
+
+.B Example:
+ 	root directory = /homes/smb
+.SS security (G)
+This option does affects how clients respond to Samba.
+
+The option sets the "security mode bit" in replies to protocol negotiations
+to turn share level security on or off. Clients decide based on this bit 
+whether (and how) to transfer user and password information to the server.
+
+The default is "security=SHARE", mainly because that was the only
+option at one stage.
+
+The alternatives are "security = user" or "security = server". 
+
+If your PCs use usernames that are the same as their usernames on the
+unix machine then you will want to use "security = user". If you
+mostly use usernames that don't exist on the unix box then use
+"security = share".
+
+There is a bug in WfWg that may affect your decision. When in user
+level security a WfWg client will totally ignore the password you type
+in the "connect drive" dialog box. This makes it very difficult (if
+not impossible) to connect to a Samba service as anyone except the
+user that you are logged into WfWg as.
+
+If you use "security = server" then Samba will try to validate the
+username/password by passing it to another SMB server, such as an NT
+box. If this fails it will revert to "security = USER".
+
+See the "password server" option for more details.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	security = SHARE
+
+.B Example:
+ 	security = USER
+.SS server string (G)
+This controls what string will show up in the printer comment box in
+print manager and next to the IPC connection in "net view". It can be
+any string that you wish to show to your users.
+
+Note that it DOES NOT affect the string that appears in browse
+lists. That is controlled by a nmbd command line option instead.
+
+A %v will be replaced with the Samba version number.
+
+A %h will be replaced with the hostname.
+
+.B Default:
+	server string = Samba %v
+
+.B Example:
+	server string = University of GNUs Samba Server
+
+.SS smbrun (G)
+This sets the full path to the smbrun binary. This defaults to the
+value in the Makefile.
+
+You must get this path right for many services to work correctly.
+
+.B Default: taken from Makefile
+
+.B Example:
+	smbrun = /usr/local/samba/bin/smbrun
+
+.SS short preserve case (S)
+
+This controls if new short filenames are created with the case that
+the client passes, or if they are forced to be the "default" case.
+
+.B Default:
+       short preserve case = no
+
+See the section on "NAME MANGLING" for a fuller discussion.
+
+.SS root preexec (S)
+
+This is the same as preexec except that the command is run as
+root. This is useful for mounting filesystems (such as cdroms) before
+a connection is finalised.
+
+.SS root postexec (S)
+
+This is the same as postexec except that the command is run as
+root. This is useful for unmounting filesystems (such as cdroms) after
+a connection is closed.
+
+.SS set directory (S)
+If 'set directory = no', then users of the service may not use the setdir
+command to change directory.
+
+The setdir comand is only implemented in the Digital Pathworks client. See the
+Pathworks documentation for details.
+.B Default:
+ 	set directory = no
+
+.B Example:
+ 	set directory = yes
+
+.SS share modes (S)
+
+This enables or disables the honouring of the "share modes" during a
+file open. These modes are used by clients to gain exclusive read or
+write access to a file. 
+
+These open modes are not directly supported by unix, so they are
+simulated using lock files in the "lock directory". The "lock
+directory" specified in smb.conf must be readable by all users.
+
+The share modes that are enabled by this option are DENY_DOS,
+DENY_ALL, DENY_READ, DENY_WRITE, DENY_NONE and DENY_FCB.
+
+Enabling this option gives full share compatability but may cost a bit
+of processing time on the unix server. They are enabled by default.
+
+.B Default:
+	share modes = yes
+
+.B Example:
+	share modes = no
+
+.SS socket options (G)
+This option (which can also be invoked with the -O command line
+option) allows you to set socket options to be used when talking with
+the client.
+
+Socket options are controls on the networking layer of the operating
+systems which allow the connection to be tuned.
+
+This option will typically be used to tune your Samba server for
+optimal performance for your local network. There is no way that Samba
+can know what the optimal parameters are for your net, so you must
+experiment and choose them yourself. I strongly suggest you read the
+appropriate documentation for your operating system first (perhaps
+"man setsockopt" will help).
+
+You may find that on some systems Samba will say "Unknown socket
+option" when you supply an option. This means you either mis-typed it
+or you need to add an include file to includes.h for your OS. If the
+latter is the case please send the patch to me
+(samba-bugs@anu.edu.au).
+
+Any of the supported socket options may be combined in any way you
+like, as long as your OS allows it.
+
+This is the list of socket options currently settable using this
+option:
+
+  SO_KEEPALIVE
+
+  SO_REUSEADDR
+
+  SO_BROADCAST
+
+  TCP_NODELAY
+
+  IPTOS_LOWDELAY
+
+  IPTOS_THROUGHPUT
+
+  SO_SNDBUF *
+
+  SO_RCVBUF *
+
+  SO_SNDLOWAT *
+
+  SO_RCVLOWAT *
+
+Those marked with a * take an integer argument. The others can
+optionally take a 1 or 0 argument to enable or disable the option, by
+default they will be enabled if you don't specify 1 or 0.
+
+To specify an argument use the syntax SOME_OPTION=VALUE for example
+SO_SNDBUF=8192. Note that you must not have any spaces before or after
+the = sign.
+
+If you are on a local network then a sensible option might be
+
+socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY
+
+If you have an almost unloaded local network and you don't mind a lot
+of extra CPU usage in the server then you could try
+
+socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
+
+If you are on a wide area network then perhaps try setting
+IPTOS_THROUGHPUT. 
+
+Note that several of the options may cause your Samba server to fail
+completely. Use these options with caution!
+
+.B Default:
+	no socket options
+
+.B Example:
+	socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY	
+
+
+
+
+.SS status (G)
+This enables or disables logging of connections to a status file that
+smbstatus can read.
+
+With this disabled smbstatus won't be able to tell you what
+connections are active.
+
+.B Default:
+	status = yes
+
+.B Example:
+	status = no
+
+.SS strip dot (G)
+This is a boolean that controls whether to strup trailing dots off
+filenames. This helps with some CDROMs that have filenames ending in a
+single dot.
+
+NOTE: This option is now obsolete, and may be removed in future. You
+should use the "mangled map" option instead as it is much more
+general. 
+
+.SS strict locking (S)
+This is a boolean that controls the handling of file locking in the
+server. When this is set to yes the server will check every read and
+write access for file locks, and deny access if locks exist. This can
+be slow on some systems.
+
+When strict locking is "no" the server does file lock checks only when
+the client explicitly asks for them. 
+
+Well behaved clients always ask for lock checks when it is important,
+so in the vast majority of cases "strict locking = no" is preferable.
+
+.B Default:
+	strict locking = no
+
+.B Example:
+	strict locking = yes
+
+.SS sync always (S)
+
+This is a boolean parameter that controls whether writes will always
+be written to stable storage before the write call returns. If this is
+false then the server will be guided by the clients request in each
+write call (clients can set a bit indicating that a particular write
+should be synchronous). If this is true then every write will be
+followed by a fsync() call to ensure the data is written to disk.
+
+.B Default:
+	sync always = no
+
+.B Example:
+	sync always = yes
+
+.SS time offset (G)
+This parameter is a setting in minutes to add to the normal GMT to
+local time conversion. This is useful if you are serving a lot of PCs
+that have incorrect daylight saving time handling.
+
+.B Default:
+	time offset = 0
+
+.B Example:
+	time offset = 60
+
+.SS user (S)
+See
+.B username.
+.SS username (S)
+A synonym for this parameter is 'user'.
+
+Multiple users may be specified in a comma-delimited list, in which case the
+supplied password will be tested against each username in turn (left to right).
+
+The username= line is needed only when the PC is unable to supply it's own
+username. This is the case for the coreplus protocol or where your
+users have different WfWg usernames to unix usernames. In both these
+cases you may also be better using the \\\\server\\share%user syntax
+instead. 
+
+The username= line is not a great solution in many cases as it means Samba
+will try to validate the supplied password against each of the
+usernames in the username= line in turn. This is slow and a bad idea for
+lots of users in case of duplicate passwords. You may get timeouts or
+security breaches using this parameter unwisely.
+
+Samba relies on the underlying unix security. This parameter does not
+restrict who can login, it just offers hints to the Samba server as to
+what usernames might correspond to the supplied password. Users can
+login as whoever they please and they will be able to do no more
+damage than if they started a telnet session. The daemon runs as the
+user that they log in as, so they cannot do anything that user cannot
+do.
+
+To restrict a service to a particular set of users you can use the
+"valid users=" line.
+
+If any of the usernames begin with a @ then the name will be looked up
+in the groups file and will expand to a list of all users in the group
+of that name. Note that searching though a groups file can take quite
+some time, and some clients may time out during the search.
+
+See the section below on username/password validation for more information
+on how this parameter determines access to the services.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	The guest account if a guest service, else the name of the service.
+
+.B Examples:
+ 	username = fred
+ 	username = fred, mary, jack, jane, @users, @pcgroup
+
+.SS username map (G)
+
+This option allows you to to specify a file containing a mapping of
+usernames from the clients to the server. This can be used for several
+purposes. The most common is to map usernames that users use on dos or
+windows machines to those that the unix box uses. The other is to map
+multiple users to a single username so that they can more easily share
+files.
+
+The map file is parsed line by line. Each line should contain a single
+unix username on the left then a '=' followed by a list of usernames
+on the right. The list of usernames on the right may contain names of
+the form @group in which case they will match any unix username in
+that group. The special client name '*' is a wildcard and matches any
+name.
+
+The file is processed on each line by taking the supplied username and
+comparing it with each username on the right hand side of the '='
+signs. If the supplied name matrches any of the names on the right
+hand side then it is replaced with the name on the left. Processing
+then continues with the next line.
+
+If any line begins with a '#' or a ';' then it is ignored
+
+For example to map from he name "admin" or "administrator" to the unix
+name "root" you would use
+
+	root = admin administrator
+
+Or to map anyone in the unix group "system" to the unix name "sys" you
+would use
+
+	sys = @system
+
+You can have as many mappings as you like in a username map file.
+
+Note that the remapping is applied to all occurances of
+usernames. Thus if you connect to "\\\\server\\fred" and "fred" is
+remapped to "mary" then you will actually be connecting to
+"\\\\server\\mary" and will need to supply a password suitable for
+"mary" not "fred". The only exception to this is the username passwed
+to the "password server" (if you have one). The password server will
+receive whatever username the client supplies without modification.
+
+Also note that no reverse mapping is done. The main effect this has is
+with printing. Users who have been mapped may have trouble deleting
+print jobs as PrintManager under WfWg will think they don't own the
+print job.
+
+.B Default
+	no username map
+
+.B Example
+	username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/users.map
+
+.SS valid chars (S)
+
+The option allows you to specify additional characters that should be
+considered valid by the server in filenames. This is particularly
+useful for national character sets, such as adding u-umlaut or a-ring.
+
+The option takes a list of characters in either integer or character
+form with spaces between them. If you give two characters with a colon
+between them then it will be taken as an lowercase:uppercase pair.
+
+If you have an editor capable of entering the characters into the
+config file then it is probably easiest to use this method. Otherwise
+you can specify the characters in octal, decimal or hexidecimal form
+using the usual C notation.
+
+For example to add the single character 'Z' to the charset (which is a
+pointless thing to do as it's already there) you could do one of the
+following
+
+valid chars = Z
+valid chars = z:Z
+valid chars = 0132:0172
+
+The last two examples above actually add two characters, and alters
+the uppercase and lowercase mappings appropriately.
+
+.B Default
+	Samba defaults to using a reasonable set of valid characters
+	for english systems
+
+.B Example
+        valid chars = 0345:0305 0366:0326 0344:0304
+
+The above example allows filenames to have the swedish characters in
+them. 
+
+.SS valid users (S)
+This is a list of users that should be allowed to login to this
+service. A name starting with @ is interpreted as a unix group.
+
+If this is empty (the default) then any user can login. If a username
+is in both this list and the "invalid users" list then access is
+denied for that user.
+
+The current servicename is substituted for %S. This is useful in the
+[homes] section.
+
+See also "invalid users"
+
+.B Default
+	No valid users list. (anyone can login)
+
+.B Example
+	valid users = greg, @pcusers
+
+.SS volume (S)
+This allows you to override the volume label returned for a
+share. Useful for CDROMs whos installation programs insist on a
+particular volume label.
+
+The default is the name of the share
+
+.SS wide links (S)
+This parameter controls whether or not links in the Unix file system may be
+followed by the server. Links that point to areas within the directory tree
+exported by the server are always allowed; this parameter controls access 
+only to areas that are outside the directory tree being exported.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	wide links = yes
+
+.B Example:
+ 	wide links = no
+
+.SS workgroup (G)
+
+This controls what workgroup your server will appear to be in when
+queried by clients. This can be different to the workgroup specified
+in the nmbd configuration, but it is probably best if you set them to
+the same value.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	set in the Makefile
+
+.B Example:
+ 	workgroup = MYGROUP
+
+.SS write ok (S)
+See
+.B writable
+and
+.B read only.
+.SS writable (S)
+A synonym for this parameter is 'write ok'. An inverted synonym is 'read only'.
+
+If this parameter is 'no', then users of a service may not create or modify
+files in the service's directory.
+
+Note that a printable service ('printable = yes') will ALWAYS allow 
+writing to the directory (user privileges permitting), but only via
+spooling operations.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	writable = no
+
+.B Examples:
+ 	read only = no
+ 	writable = yes
+ 	write ok = yes
+.SS write list (S)
+This is a list of users that are given read-write access to a
+service. If the connecting user is in this list then they will be
+given write access, no matter what the "read only" option is set
+to. The list can include group names using the @group syntax.
+
+Note that if a user is in both the read list and the write list then
+they will be given write access.
+
+See also the "read list" option
+
+.B Default:
+     write list =
+
+.B Example:
+     write list = admin, root, @staff
+
+.SS write raw (G)
+This parameter controls whether or not the server will support raw writes when
+transferring data from clients.
+
+.B Default:
+ 	write raw = yes
+
+.B Example:
+ 	write raw = no
+.SH NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION
+There are a number of ways in which a user can connect to a
+service. The server follows the following steps in determining if it
+will allow a connection to a specified service. If all the steps fail
+then the connection request is rejected. If one of the steps pass then
+the following steps are not checked.
+
+If the service is marked "guest only = yes" then steps 1 to 5 are skipped
+
+Step 1: If the client has passed a username/password pair and that
+username/password pair is validated by the unix systems password
+programs then the connection is made as that username. Note that this
+includes the \\\\server\\service%username method of passing a username.
+
+Step 2: If the client has previously registered a username with the
+system and now supplies a correct password for that username then the
+connection is allowed.
+
+Step 3: The clients netbios name and any previously used user names
+are checked against the supplied password, if they match then the
+connection is allowed as the corresponding user.
+
+Step 4: If the client has previously validated a username/password
+pair with the server and the client has passed the validation token
+then that username is used. This step is skipped if "revalidate = yes" 
+for this service.
+
+Step 5: If a "user = " field is given in the smb.conf file for the
+service and the client has supplied a password, and that password
+matches (according to the unix systems password checking) with one of
+the usernames from the user= field then the connection is made as the
+username in the "user=" line. If one of the username in the user= list
+begins with a @ then that name expands to a list of names in the group
+of the same name.
+
+Step 6: If the service is a guest service then a connection is made as
+the username given in the "guest account =" for the service,
+irrespective of the supplied password.
+
+
+.SH WARNINGS
+Although the configuration file permits service names to contain spaces, 
+your client software may not. Spaces will be ignored in comparisons anyway,
+so it shouldn't be a problem - but be aware of the possibility.
+
+On a similar note, many clients - especially DOS clients - limit service
+names to eight characters. Smbd has no such limitation, but attempts
+to connect from such clients will fail if they truncate the service names.
+For this reason you should probably keep your service names down to eight 
+characters in length.
+
+Use of the [homes] and [printers] special sections make life for an 
+administrator easy, but the various combinations of default attributes can be
+tricky. Take extreme care when designing these sections. In particular,
+ensure that the permissions on spool directories are correct.
+.SH VERSION
+This man page is (mostly) correct for version 1.9.00 of the Samba suite, plus some
+of the recent patches to it. These notes will necessarily lag behind 
+development of the software, so it is possible that your version of 
+the server has extensions or parameter semantics that differ from or are not 
+covered by this man page. Please notify these to the address below for 
+rectification.
+
+Prior to version 1.5.21 of the Samba suite, the configuration file was
+radically different (more primitive). If you are using a version earlier than
+1.8.05, it is STRONGLY recommended that you upgrade.

+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+[This section under construction]
+
+Most diagnostics issued by the server are logged in a specified log file. The
+log file name is specified at compile time, but may be overridden on the
+smbd (see smbd(8)) command line.
+
+The number and nature of diagnostics available depends on the debug level used
+by the server. If you have problems, set the debug level to 3 and peruse the
+log files.
+
+Most messages are reasonably self-explanatory. Unfortunately, at time of
+creation of this man page the source code is still too fluid to warrant
+describing each and every diagnostic. At this stage your best bet is still
+to grep the source code and inspect the conditions that gave rise to the 
+diagnostics you are seeing.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This program is part of the Samba suite.
+
+.B smbclient
+is a client that can 'talk' to a Lan Manager server. It offers
+an interface similar to that of the 
+.B ftp
+program (see
+.B ftp(1)). Operations include things like getting files from the
+server to the local machine, putting files from the local machine to
+the server, retrieving directory information from the server and so on.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.B servicename
+.RS 3
+.B servicename
+is the name of the service you want to use on the server. A service
+name takes the form
+.B "\\\\\\\\server\\\\service"
+where
+.B server
+is the netbios name of the Lan Manager server offering the desired service and
+.B service
+is the name of the service offered. Thus to connect to the service "printer" 
+on the Lan Manager server "lanman", you would use the servicename
+
+.RS 10
+.B "\\\\\\\\lanman\\\\printer"
+.RE
+
+Note that the server name required is NOT necessarily the host name of the
+server! The name required is a Lan Manager server name, which may or may not
+be the same as the hostname of the machine running the server.
+.RE
+
+.B password
+.RS 3
+.B
+password
+is the password required to access the specified service on the
+specified server. If supplied, the
+.B -N
+option (suppress password prompt) is assumed.
+
+There is no default password. If no password is supplied on the command line
+(either here or using the 
+.B -U
+option (see below)) and 
+.B -N
+is not specified, the client will prompt for a password, even if the desired 
+service does not require one. (If prompted for a password and none is 
+required, simply press ENTER to provide a null password.)
+
+Note: Some servers (including OS/2 and Windows for Workgroups) insist
+on an uppercase password. Lowercase or mixed case passwords may be
+rejected by these servers.
+
+Be cautious about including passwords in scripts.
+.RE
+
+.B -A
+
+.RS 3
+This parameter, if specified, causes the maximum debug level to be selected.
+Be warned that this generates prodigious amounts of debug data. There is also
+a security issue involved, as at the maximum debug level cleartext passwords
+may be written to some log files.
+.RE
+
+.B -L
+
+.RS 3
+This option allows you to look at what services are available on a
+server. You use it as "smbclient -L host" and a list should appear.
+The -I option may be useful if your netbios names don't match your 
+tcp/ip host names or if you are trying to reach a host on another
+network. For example:
+
+smbclient -L ftp -I ftp.microsoft.com
+
+will list the shares available on microsofts public server.
+.RE
+
+.B -M
+
+.RS 3
+This options allows you to send messages, using the "WinPopup"
+protocol, to another computer. Once a connection is established you
+then type your message, pressing ^D (control-D) to end.
+
+If the receiving computer is running WinPopup the user will receive
+the message and probably a beep. If they are not running WinPopup the
+message will be lost, and no error message will occur.
+
+The message is also automatically truncated if the message is over
+1600 bytes, as this is the limit of the protocol.
+
+One useful trick is to cat the message through smbclient. For example:
+
+cat mymessage.txt | smbclient -M FRED
+
+will send the message in the file "mymessage.txt" to the machine FRED.
+
+You may also find the -U and -I options useful, as they allow you to
+control the FROM and TO parts of the message. 
+
+Samba currently has no way of receiving WinPopup messages.
+
+Note: Copy WinPopup into the startup group on your WfWg PCs if you
+want them to always be able to receive messages.
+.RE
+
+.B -E
+
+.RS 3
+This parameter, if specified, causes the client to write messages to the
+standard error stream (stderr) rather than to the standard output stream.
+
+By default, the client writes messages to standard output - typically the
+user's tty.
+.RE
+
+.B -I
+.I IP number
+
+.RS 3
+.I IP number
+represents the IP number of the server to connect to. It should
+be specified in standard "a.b.c.d" notation.
+
+Normally the client will attempt to locate the specified Lan Manager server
+by looking it up - that is, broadcasting a request for the given server to
+identify itself. Using this parameter will force the client to assume that
+the server is on the machine with the specified IP number.
+
+There is no default for this parameter. If not supplied, it will be determined
+automatically by the client as described above.
+.RE
+
+.B -N
+
+.RS 3
+If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal password prompt from the
+client to the user. This is useful when accessing a service that does not
+require a password.
+
+Unless a password is specified on the command line or this parameter is
+specified, the client will request a password.
+.RE
+
+.B -O
+.I socket options
+.RS 3
+
+See the socket options section of smb.conf(5) for details
+
+.RE
+.B -P
+
+.RS 3
+If specified, the service requested will be connected to as a printer service
+rather than as a normal filespace service. Operations such as put and get
+will not be applicable for such a connection.
+
+By default, services will be connected to as NON-printer services.
+.RE
+
+.B -U
+.I username
+
+.RS 3
+.I username
+is the user name that will be used by the client to make a connection,
+assuming your server is running a protocol that allows for usernames.
+
+Some servers are fussy about the case of this name, and some insist
+that it must be a valid netbios name.
+
+If no 
+.I username
+is supplied, it will default to an uppercase version of the 
+environment variable 
+.B USER
+or
+.B LOGNAME
+in that order.
+If no 
+.I username
+is supplied and neither environment variable exists the user name will
+be empty.
+
+If the service you are connecting to requires a password, it can be supplied
+using the
+.B -U
+option, by appending a percent symbol ("%") then the password to 
+.I username.
+For example, to attach to a service as user "fred" with password "secret", you
+would specify
+.B -U
+.I fred%secret
+on the command line. Note that there are no spaces around the percent symbol.
+
+If you specify the password as part of
+.I username
+then the 
+.B -N
+option (suppress password prompt) is assumed.
+
+If you specify the password as a parameter AND as part of
+.I username
+then the password as part of
+.I username
+will take precedence. Putting nothing before or nothing after the percent 
+symbol will cause an empty username or an empty password to be used,
+respectively.
+
+Note: Some servers (including OS/2 and Windows for Workgroups) insist
+on an uppercase password. Lowercase or mixed case passwords may be
+rejected by these servers.
+
+Be cautious about including passwords in scripts.
+.RE
+
+.B -d
+.I debuglevel
+.RS 3
+
+debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 5.
+
+The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero.
+
+The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about
+the activities of the client. At level 0, only critical errors and serious 
+warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day to day running
+- it generates a small amount of information about operations carried out.
+
+Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should 
+only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for 
+use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most of which 
+is extremely cryptic.
+.RE
+
+.B -l
+.I log basename
+
+.RS 3
+If specified,
+.I log basename
+specifies a base filename into which operational data from the running client
+will be logged.
+
+The default base name is specified at compile time.
+
+The base name is used to generate actual log file names. For example, if the
+name specified was "log", the following files would be used for log data:
+
+.RS 3
+log.client.debug (containing debugging information)
+
+log.client.in (containing inbound transaction data)
+
+log.client.out (containing outbound transaction data)
+.RE
+
+The log files generated are never removed by the client.
+.RE
+.RE
+
+.B -n
+.I netbios name
+
+.RS 3
+By default, the client will use the local machine's hostname (in
+uppercase) as its netbios name. This parameter allows you to override
+the host name and use whatever netbios name you wish.
+.RE
+
+.B -p
+.I port number
+.RS 3
+
+port number is a positive integer value.
+
+The default value if this parameter is not specified is 139.
+
+This number is the port number that will be used when making connections to
+the server. The standard (well-known) port number for the server is 139, 
+hence the default.
+
+This parameter is not normally specified.
+
+.B -T
+.I tar options
+.RS3 
+
+where tar options are one or more of c,x,I,X,b,g,N or a; used as:
+.LP
+smbclient 
+.B "\\\\\\\\server\\\\share"
+\-TcxIXbgNa
+[
+.IR blocksize
+]
+[
+.IR newer-file
+]
+.IR tarfile
+[
+.IR filenames....
+]
+
+.RS3
+.B c
+Create a tar file on UNIX. Must be followed by the name of a tar file,
+tape device or "-" for standard output. (May be useful to set debugging
+low (-d0)) to avoid corrupting your tar file if using "-"). Mutually
+exclusive with the x flag.
+
+.B x
+Extract (restore) a local tar file back to a share. Unless the -D
+option is given, the tar files will be restored from the top level of
+the share. Must be followed by the name of the tar file, device or "-"
+for standard input. Mutually exclusive with the c flag.
+
+.B I
+Include files and directories. Is the default behaviour when
+.IR filenames
+are specified above. Causes tar files to be included in an extract or create
+(and therefore everything else to be excluded). See example below.
+Filename globbing does not work for included files for extractions (yet).
+
+.B X
+Exclude files and directories. Causes tar files to be excluded from
+an extract or create. See example below.
+Filename globbing does not work for excluded files (yet).
+
+.B b
+Blocksize. Must be followed by a valid (greater than zero) blocksize.
+Causes tar file to be written out in blocksize*TBLOCK (usually 512 byte)
+blocks.
+
+.B g
+Incremental. Only back up files that have the archive bit set. Useful
+only with the c flag.
+
+.B N
+Newer than. Must be followed by the name of a file whose date is
+compared against files found on the share during a create. Only files
+newer than the file specified are backed up to the tar file. Useful
+only with the c flag.
+
+.B a
+Set archive bit. Causes the archive bit to be reset when a file is backed
+up. Useful with the g (and c) flags.
+.LP
+
+.B Examples
+
+smbclient \\\\mypc\\myshare "" -N -Tx backup.tar
+
+Restore from tar file backup.tar into myshare on mypc (no password on share).
+
+smbclient \\\\mypc\\myshare "" -N -TXx backup.tar users/docs
+
+Restore everything except users/docs
+
+smbclient \\\\mypc\\myshare "" -N -Tc backup.tar users/docs
+
+Create a tar file of the files beneath users/docs.
+
+.RE
+
+.B -D
+.I initial directory
+
+.RS3 
+
+Change to initial directory before starting. Probably only of any use
+with the tar (\-T) option.
+
+
+.RE
+
+.SH OPERATIONS
+Once the client is running, the user is presented with a prompt, "smb: \\>".
+The backslash ("\\") indicates the current working directory on the server,
+and will change if the current working directory is changed.
+
+The prompt indicates that the client is ready and waiting to carry out a user
+command. Each command is a single word, optionally followed by parameters
+specific to that command. Command and parameters are space-delimited unless
+these notes specifically state otherwise. All commands are case-insensitive.
+Parameters to commands may or may not be case sensitive, depending on the
+command.
+
+You can specify file names which have spaces in them by quoting the
+name with double quotes, for example "a long file name".
+
+Parameters shown in square brackets (eg., "[parameter]") are optional. If not
+given, the command will use suitable defaults. Parameters shown in angle
+brackets (eg., "<parameter>") are required.
+
+Note that all commands operating on the server are actually performed by
+issuing a request to the server. Thus the behaviour may vary from server to
+server, depending on how the server was implemented.
+
+The commands available are given here in alphabetical order.

+
+.RE
+.B Description:
+.RS 3
+This command allows the user to set up a mask which will be used during
+recursive operation of the
+.B mget
+and
+.B mput
+commands.
+
+The masks specified to the
+.B mget
+and
+.B mput
+commands act as filters for directories
+rather than files when recursion is toggled ON.
+
+The mask specified with the
+.B mask
+command is necessary to filter files within those directories. For example,
+if the mask specified in an
+.B mget
+command is "source*"
+.I and
+the mask specified with the
+.B mask
+command is "*.c"
+.I and
+recursion is toggled ON, the
+.B mget
+command will retrieve all files matching "*.c" in all directories below
+and including all directories matching "source*" in the current working 
+directory.
+
+Note that the value for
+.I mask
+defaults to blank (equivalent to "*") and remains so until the
+.B mask
+command is used to change it. It retains the most recently specified value
+indefinitely. To avoid unexpected results it would be wise to change the
+value of
+.I mask
+back to "*" after using the
+.B mget

+.SH NOTES
+Some servers are fussy about the case of supplied usernames, passwords, share
+names (aka service names) and machine names. If you fail to connect try
+giving all parameters in uppercase.
+
+It is often necessary to use the
+.B -n
+option when connecting to some types
+of servers. For example OS/2 LanManager insists on a valid netbios name
+being used, so you need to supply a valid name that would be known to
+the server.
+
+.B smbclient
+supports long file names where the server supports the LANMAN2
+protocol.
+
+.SH FILES
+Not applicable.
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+.B USER
+.RS 3
+The variable USER may contain the username of the person using the client.
+This information is used only if the protocol level is high enough to support
+session-level passwords.
+.RE
+
+.SH INSTALLATION
+The location of the client program is a matter for individual system 
+administrators. The following are thus suggestions only.
+
+It is recommended that the client software be installed under the /usr/local
+hierarchy, in a directory readable by all, writeable only by root. The client
+program itself should be executable by all. The client should NOT be setuid 
+or setgid!
+
+The client log files should be put in a directory readable and writable only
+by the user.
+
+To test the client, you will need to know the name of a running Lan manager
+server. It is possible to run the smbd (see
+.B smbd(8)) as an ordinary user - running that server as a daemon on a
+user-accessible port (typically any port number over 1024) would
+provide a suitable test server.
+.SH VERSION
+This man page is (mostly) correct for version 1.9.00 of the Samba suite, plus some
+of the recent patches to it. These notes will necessarily lag behind 
+development of the client software, so it is possible that your version of 
+the client has extensions or parameter semantics that differ from or are not 
+covered by this man page. Please notify these to the address below for 
+rectification.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+.B smbd(8)
+
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+[This section under construction]
+
+Most diagnostics issued by the client are logged in a specified log file. The
+log file name is specified at compile time, but may be overridden on the
+command line.
+
+The number and nature of diagnostics available depends on the debug level used
+by the client. If you have problems, set the debug level to 3 and peruse the
+log files.
+
+Most messages are reasonably self-explanatory. Unfortunately, at time of
+creation of this man page the source code is still too fluid to warrant
+describing each and every diagnostic. At this stage your best bet is still
+to grep the source code and inspect the conditions that gave rise to the

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This program is part of the Samba suite.
+
+.B smbd
+is a server that can provide most SMB services. The 
+server provides filespace and printer services to clients using the SMB 
+protocol. This is compatible with the LanManager protocol, and can
+service LanManager clients.
+
+An extensive description of the services that the server can provide is given
+in the man page for the configuration file controlling the attributes of those
+services (see
+.B smb.conf(5)). This man page will not describe the services, but
+will concentrate on the administrative aspects of running the server.
+
+Please note that there are significant security implications to running this
+server, and
+.B smb.conf(5) should be regarded as mandatory reading before proceeding with 
+installation.
+
+A session is created whenever a client requests one. Each client gets a copy
+of the server for each session. This copy then services all connections made
+by the client during that session. When all connections from its client are
+are closed, the copy of the server for that client terminates.
+
+The configuration file is automatically reloaded if it changes. You
+can force a reload by sending a SIGHUP to the server.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.B -D
+
+.RS 3
+If specified, this parameter causes the server to operate as a daemon. That is,
+it detaches itself and runs in the background, fielding requests on the 
+appropriate port.
+
+By default, the server will NOT operate as a daemon.
+.RE
+
+.B -a
+
+.RS 3
+If this parameter is specified, the log files will be overwritten with each 
+new connection. By default, the log files will be appended to.
+.RE
+
+.B -d
+.I debuglevel
+.RS 3
+
+debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 5.
+
+The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero.
+
+The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about
+the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious 
+warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day to day running
+- it generates a small amount of information about operations carried out.
+
+Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should 
+only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for 
+use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most of which 
+is extremely cryptic.
+.RE
+
+.B -l
+.I log file
+
+.RS 3
+If specified,
+.I logfile
+specifies a base filename into which operational data from the running server
+will be logged.
+
+The default base name is specified at compile time.
+
+The base name is used to generate actual log file names. For example, if the
+name specified was "log", the following files would be used for log data:
+
+.RS 3
+log.debug (containing debugging information)
+
+log.in (containing inbound transaction data)
+
+log.out (containing outbound transaction data)
+.RE
+
+The log files generated are never removed by the server.
+.RE
+
+.B -O
+.I socket options
+.RS 3
+
+See the socket options section of smb.conf(5) for details
+
+.RE
+.B -p
+.I port number
+.RS 3
+
+port number is a positive integer value.
+
+The default value if this parameter is not specified is 139.
+
+This number is the port number that will be used when making connections to
+the server from client software. The standard (well-known) port number for the
+server is 139, hence the default. If you wish to run the server as an ordinary
+user rather than as root, most systems will require you to use a port number
+greater than 1024 - ask your system administrator for help if you are in this
+situation.
+
+This parameter is not normally specified except in the above situation.
+.RE
+
+.B -s
+.I configuration file
+
+.RS 3
+The default configuration file name is determined at compile time.
+
+The file specified contains the configuration details required by the server.
+The information in this file includes server-specific information such as
+what printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the services that the
+server is to provide. See
+.B smb.conf(5) for more information.
+.RE
+
+.SH FILES
+
+.B /etc/inetd.conf
+
+.RS 3
+If the server is to be run by the inetd meta-daemon, this file must contain
+suitable startup information for the meta-daemon. See the section 
+"INSTALLATION" below.
+.RE
+
+.B /etc/rc
+
+.RS 3
+(or whatever initialisation script your system uses)
+
+If running the server as a daemon at startup, this file will need to contain
+an appropriate startup sequence for the server. See the section "INSTALLATION"
+below.
+.RE
+
+.B /etc/services
+
+.RS 3
+If running the server via the meta-daemon inetd, this file must contain a
+mapping of service name (eg., netbios-ssn)  to service port (eg., 139) and
+protocol type (eg., tcp). See the section "INSTALLATION" below.
+.RE
+
+.B /usr/local/smb/smb.conf
+
+.RS 3
+This file describes all the services the server is to make available to
+clients. See
+.B smb.conf(5) for more information.
+.RE
+.RE
+
+.SH LIMITATIONS
+
+On some systems smbd cannot change uid back to root after a setuid() call.
+Such systems are called "trapdoor" uid systems. If you have such a system,
+you will be unable to connect from a client (such as a PC) as two different
+users at once. Attempts to connect the second user will result in "access
+denied" or similar.
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+
+.B PRINTER
+
+.RS 3
+If no printer name is specified to printable services, most systems will
+use the value of this variable (or "lp" if this variable is not defined)
+as the name of the printer to use. This is not specific to the server,
+however.
+.RE
+
+.SH INSTALLATION
+The location of the server and its support files is a matter for individual
+system administrators. The following are thus suggestions only.
+
+It is recommended that the server software be installed under the
+/usr/local hierarchy, in a directory readable by all, writeable only
+by root. The server program itself should be executable by all, as
+users may wish to run the server themselves (in which case it will of
+course run with their privileges).  The server should NOT be
+setuid. On some systems it may be worthwhile to make smbd setgid to an
+empty group. This is because some systems may have a security hole where
+daemon processes that become a user can be attached to with a
+debugger. Making the smbd file setgid to an empty group may prevent
+this hole from being exploited. This secrity hole and the suggested
+fix has only been confirmed on Linux at the time this was written. It
+is possible that this hole only exists in Linux, as testing on other
+systems has thus far shown them to be immune.
+
+The server log files should be put in a directory readable and writable only
+by root, as the log files may contain sensitive information.
+
+The configuration file should be placed in a directory readable and writable
+only by root, as the configuration file controls security for the services
+offered by the server. The configuration file can be made readable by all if
+desired, but this is not necessary for correct operation of the server and
+is not recommended. A sample configuration file "smb.conf.sample" is supplied
+with the source to the server - this may be renamed to "smb.conf" and 
+modified to suit your needs.
+
+The remaining notes will assume the following:
+
+.RS 3
+smbd (the server program) installed in /usr/local/smb
+
+smb.conf (the configuration file) installed in /usr/local/smb
+
+log files stored in /var/adm/smblogs
+.RE
+
+The server may be run either as a daemon by users or at startup, or it may
+be run from a meta-daemon such as inetd upon request. If run as a daemon, the
+server will always be ready, so starting sessions will be faster. If run from 
+a meta-daemon some memory will be saved and utilities such as the tcpd 
+TCP-wrapper may be used for extra security.
+
+When you've decided, continue with either "RUNNING THE SERVER AS A DAEMON" or
+"RUNNING THE SERVER ON REQUEST".
+.SH RUNNING THE SERVER AS A DAEMON
+To run the server as a daemon from the command line, simply put the "-D" option
+on the command line. There is no need to place an ampersand at the end of the
+command line - the "-D" option causes the server to detach itself from the
+tty anyway.
+
+Any user can run the server as a daemon (execute permissions permitting, of 
+course). This is useful for testing purposes, and may even be useful as a
+temporary substitute for something like ftp. When run this way, however, the
+server will only have the privileges of the user who ran it.
+
+To ensure that the server is run as a daemon whenever the machine is started,
+and to ensure that it runs as root so that it can serve multiple clients, you 
+will need to modify the system startup files. Wherever appropriate (for
+example, in /etc/rc), insert the following line, substituting 
+port number, log file location, configuration file location and debug level as
+desired:
+
+.RS 3
+/usr/local/smb/smbd -D -l /var/adm/smblogs/log -s /usr/local/smb/smb.conf
+.RE
+
+(The above should appear in your initialisation script as a single line. 
+Depending on your terminal characteristics, it may not appear that way in
+this man page. If the above appears as more than one line, please treat any 
+newlines or indentation as a single space or TAB character.)
+
+If the options used at compile time are appropriate for your system, all
+parameters except the desired debug level and "-D" may be omitted. See the
+section "OPTIONS" above.
+.SH RUNNING THE SERVER ON REQUEST
+If your system uses a meta-daemon such as inetd, you can arrange to have the
+smbd server started whenever a process attempts to connect to it. This requires
+several changes to the startup files on the host machine. If you are
+experimenting as an ordinary user rather than as root, you will need the 
+assistance of your system administrator to modify the system files.
+
+You will probably want to set up the name server
+.B nmbd
+at the same time as
+the smbd - refer to the man page 
+.B nmbd(8).
+
+First, ensure that a port is configured in the file /etc/services. The 
+well-known port 139 should be used if possible, though any port may be used.
+
+Ensure that a line similar to the following is in /etc/services:
+
+.RS 3
+netbios-ssn	139/tcp
+.RE
+
+Note for NIS/YP users - you may need to rebuild the NIS service maps rather
+than alter your local /etc/services file.
+
+Next, put a suitable line in the file /etc/inetd.conf (in the unlikely event
+that you are using a meta-daemon other than inetd, you are on your own). Note
+that the first item in this line matches the service name in /etc/services.
+Substitute appropriate values for your system in this line (see
+.B inetd(8)):
+
+.RS 3
+netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/smb/smbd -d1 
+-l/var/adm/smblogs/log -s/usr/local/smb/smb.conf
+.RE
+
+(The above should appear in /etc/inetd.conf as a single line. Depending on 
+your terminal characteristics, it may not appear that way in this man page.
+If the above appears as more than one line, please treat any newlines or 
+indentation as a single space or TAB character.)
+
+Note that there is no need to specify a port number here, even if you are 
+using a non-standard port number.
+
+Lastly, edit the configuration file to provide suitable services. To start
+with, the following two services should be all you need:
+
+.RS 3
+[homes]
+.RS 3
+ writable = yes
+.RE
+
+[printers]
+.RS 3
+ writable = no
+ printable = yes
+ path = /tmp
+ public = yes
+.RE
+.RE
+
+This will allow you to connect to your home directory and print to any printer
+supported by the host (user privileges permitting).
+.SH TESTING THE INSTALLATION
+If running the server as a daemon, execute it before proceeding. If
+using a meta-daemon, either restart the system or kill and restart the 
+meta-daemon. Some versions of inetd will reread their configuration tables if
+they receive a HUP signal.
+
+If your machine's name is "fred" and your name is "mary", you should now be
+able to connect to the service "\\\\fred\\mary".
+
+To properly test and experiment with the server, we recommend using the
+smbclient program (see
+.B smbclient(1)).
+.SH VERSION
+This man page is (mostly) correct for version 1.9.00 of the Samba suite, plus some
+of the recent patches to it. These notes will necessarily lag behind 
+development of the software, so it is possible that your version of 
+the server has extensions or parameter semantics that differ from or are not 
+covered by this man page. Please notify these to the address below for 
+rectification.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This program is part of the Samba suite.
+
+.B smbrun
+is a very small 'glue' program, which runs shell commands for
+the
+.B smbd
+daemon (see
+.B smbd(8)).
+
+It first changes to the highest effective user and group ID that it can, 
+then runs the command line provided using the system() call. This program is
+necessary to allow some operating systems to run external programs as non-root.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.I shell-command
+
+.RS 3
+The shell command to execute.
+
+The command should have a fully-qualified path.
+.RE
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+The PATH variable set for the environment in which
+.B smbrun
+is executed will affect what executables are located and executed if a
+fully-qualified path is not given in the command.
+
+.SH INSTALLATION
+The location of the server and its support files is a matter for individual

+.I configuration file
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This program is part of the Samba suite.
+
+.B smbstatus
+is a very simple program to list the current Samba connections
+
+Just run the program and the output is self explanatory. You can offer
+a configuration filename to override the default. The default is
+CONFIGFILE from the Makefile.
+
+Option
+.I -d
+gives verbose output.
+
+.I -p
+print a list of smbd processes and exit. Useful for scripting.
+
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+Not applicable.
+
+.SH INSTALLATION
+The location of the server and its support files is a matter for individual
+system administrators. The following are thus suggestions only.
+
+It is recommended that the
+.B smbstatus
+program be installed under the /usr/local hierarchy, in a directory readable
+by all, writeable only by root. The program itself should be executable by all.
+
+.SH VERSION
+This man page is (mostly) correct for version 1.9.00 of the Samba suite, plus some
+of the recent patches to it. These notes will necessarily lag behind 
+development of the software, so it is possible that your version of 
+the program has extensions or parameter semantics that differ from or are not 
+covered by this man page. Please notify these to the address below for

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This program is an extension to the Samba suite.
+
+.B smbtar
+is a very small shell script on top of smbclient, which dumps SMB
+shares directly to tape.
+
+.SH OPTIONS
+.B \-s
+.I server
+.RS 3
+The PC that the share resides upon.
+.RE
+
+.B \-x
+.I service

+
+.RS 3
+The password to use to access a share. Default: none
+.RE
+
+.B \-u
+.I user
+.RS 3
+The user id to connect as. Default: UNIX login name.
+.RE
+
+.B \-t
+.I tape
+.RS 3
+Tape device. May be regular file or tape device. Default: Tape environmental
+variable; if not set, a file called
+.I tar.out.
+.RE
+
+.B \-b
+.I blocksize
+.RS 3
+Blocking factor. Defaults to 20. See tar(1) for a fuller explanation.
+.RE
+
+.B \-N
+.I filename
+.RS 3
+Backup only files newer than filename. Could be used (for example) on a log
+file to implement incremental backups.
+.RE
+
+.B \-i

+be overidden with the -t option.
+
+.SH BUGS
+The smbtar script has different options from ordinary tar and tar
+called from smbclient.
+
+.SH CAVEATS
+Sites that are more careful about security may not like the way
+the script handles PC passwords. Backup and restore work on entire shares,
+should work on file lists.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This program is part of the Samba suite.
+
+.B testparm
+is a very simple test program to check an
+.B smbd
+configuration
+file for internal correctness. If this program reports no problems, you can use
+the configuration file with confidence that smbd will successfully
+load the configuration file.
+
+Note that this is NOT a guarantee that the services specified in the
+configuration file will be available or will operate as expected.
+
+If the optional host name and host IP address are specified on the
+command line, this test program will run through the service entries
+reporting whether the specified host has access to each service.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.I configfilename
+
+.RS 3
+This is the name of the configuration file to check.
+.RE
+
+.I hostname
+
+.RS 3
+This is the name of the host to check access on.

+

+
+It is recommended that the

+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+The program will issue a message saying whether the configuration file loaded
+OK or not. This message may be preceded by errors and warnings if the file
+did not load. If the file was loaded OK, the program then dumps all known

+.SH NAME
+testprns \- check printer name for validity with smbd
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B testprns
+.I printername
+[
+.I printcapname
+]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This program is part of the Samba suite.
+
+.B testprns
+is a very simple test program to determine whether a given 
+printer name is valid for use in a service to be provided by
+.B smbd.
+
+"Valid" in this context means "can be found in the printcap specified". This
+program is very stupid - so stupid in fact that it would be wisest to always
+specify the printcap file to use.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.I printername
+
+.RS 3
+The printer name to validate.
+
+Printer names are taken from the first field in each record in the printcap
+file, single printer names and sets of aliases separated by vertical bars
+("|") are recognised. Note that no validation or checking of the printcap
+syntax is done beyond that required to extract the printer name. It may
+be that the print spooling system is more forgiving or less forgiving
+than 
+.B testprns
+however if
+.B testprns
+finds the printer then smbd should do as well.
+
+.RE
+
+.I printcapname
+
+.RS 3
+This is the name of the printcap file to search for the given printer name
+in.
+
+If no printcap name is specified,
+.B testprns
+will attempt to scan the printcap file specified at compile time 
+(PRINTCAP_NAME).
+.RE
+.SH FILES
+.B /etc/printcap
+.RS 3
+This is usually the default printcap file to scan. See
+.B printcap(5)).
+.RE
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+Not applicable.
+
+.SH INSTALLATION
+The location of the server and its support files is a matter for individual
+system administrators. The following are thus suggestions only.
+
+It is recommended that the
+.B testprns
+program be installed under the /usr/local hierarchy, in a directory readable
+by all, writeable only by root. The program should be executable by all.
+The program should NOT be setuid or setgid!

+development of the software, so it is possible that your version of

+.SH SEE ALSO
+.B printcap(5),
+.B smbd(8), 
+.B smbclient(1)
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+If a printer is found to be valid, the message "Printer name <printername> is 
+valid" will be displayed.
+
+If a printer is found to be invalid, the message "Printer name <printername> 
+is not valid" will be displayed.
+
+All messages that would normally be logged during operation of smbd are
+logged by this program to the file
+.I test.log
+in the current directory. The program runs at debuglevel 3, so quite extensive
+logging information is written. The log should be checked carefully for errors
+and warnings.
