-source address of any packets coming in on the broadcast sockets 
-and discard any that don't match the broadcast addresses of the

-send packets that arrive through any interfaces not listed in the
-\fIinterfaces\fR list.  IP Source address spoofing
-does defeat this simple check, however, so it must not be used
-seriously as a security feature for \fBnmbd\fR.

-For file service it causes \fBsmbd\fR(8) to bind only to the interface list 
-given in the   interfaces parameter. This restricts the networks that 
-\fBsmbd\fR will serve to packets coming in those 
-interfaces.  Note that you should not use this parameter for machines

As unicast packets are received on the other sockets it allows \fBnmbd\fR to refuse to serve names to machines that send packets that arrive through any interfaces not listed in the \fIinterfaces\fR list\&. IP Source address spoofing does defeat this simple check, however, so it must not be used seriously as a security feature for \fBnmbd\fR\&.
+
+
+For file service it causes \fBsmbd\fR(8) to bind only to the interface list given in the interfaces parameter\&. This restricts the networks that \fBsmbd\fR will serve to packets coming in those interfaces\&. Note that you should not use this parameter for machines that are serving PPP or other intermittent or non-broadcast network interfaces as it will not cope with non-permanent interfaces\&.

+
+
+To change a users SMB password, the \fBsmbpasswd\fR by default connects to the \fBlocalhost - 127\&.0\&.0\&.1\fR address as an SMB client to issue the password change request\&. If \fIbind interfaces only\fR is set then unless the network address \fB127\&.0\&.0\&.1\fR is added to the \fIinterfaces\fR parameter list then \fB smbpasswd\fR will fail to connect in it's default mode\&. \fBsmbpasswd\fR can be forced to use the primary IP interface of the local host by using its \fBsmbpasswd\fR(8) \fI-r remote machine\fR parameter, with \fIremote machine\fR set to the IP name of the primary interface of the local host\&.
+
+
+The \fBswat\fR status page tries to connect with \fBsmbd\fR and \fBnmbd\fR at the address \fB127\&.0\&.0\&.1\fR to determine if they are running\&. Not adding \fB127\&.0\&.0\&.1\fR will cause \fB smbd\fR and \fBnmbd\fR to always show "not running" even if they really are\&. This can prevent \fB swat\fR from starting/stopping/restarting \fBsmbd\fR and \fBnmbd\fR\&.

-information to the server.
-
-The default is \fBsecurity = user\fR, as this is
-the most common setting needed when talking to Windows 98 and 
-Windows NT.
-
-The alternatives are \fBsecurity = share\fR,
-\fBsecurity = server\fR or \fBsecurity = domain
-\fR.
-
-In versions of Samba prior to 2.0.0, the default was 
-\fBsecurity = share\fR mainly because that was
-the only option at one stage.
-
-There is a bug in WfWg that has relevance to this 
-setting. When in user or server 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 your PCs use usernames that are the same as their 
-usernames on the UNIX machine then you will want to use 
-\fBsecurity = user\fR. If you mostly use usernames 
-that don't exist on the UNIX box then use \fBsecurity = 
-share\fR.
-
-You should also use \fBsecurity = share\fR if you 
-want to mainly setup shares without a password (guest shares). This 
-is commonly used for a shared printer server. It is more difficult 
-to setup guest shares with \fBsecurity = user\fR, see 
-the \fImap to guest\fR
-parameter for details.
-
-It is possible to use \fBsmbd\fR in a \fB  hybrid mode\fR where it is offers both user and share 
-level security under different   \fINetBIOS aliases\fR. 
-
-The different settings will now be explained.
-
->\fBSECURITY = SHARE
-\fR
-
-When clients connect to a share level security server they 
-need not log onto the server with a valid username and password before 
-attempting to connect to a shared resource (although modern clients 
-such as Windows 95/98 and Windows NT will send a logon request with 
-a username but no password when talking to a \fBsecurity = share
-\fR server). Instead, the clients send authentication information 
-(passwords) on a per-share basis, at the time they attempt to connect 
-to that share.
-
-Note that \fBsmbd\fR \fBALWAYS\fR 
-uses a valid UNIX user to act on behalf of the client, even in
-\fBsecurity = share\fR level security.
-
-As clients are not required to send a username to the server
-in share level security, \fBsmbd\fR uses several
-techniques to determine the correct UNIX user to use on behalf
-of the client.
-
-A list of possible UNIX usernames to match with the given
-client password is constructed using the following methods :
-.RS
-.TP 0.2i
-\(bu
-If the \fIguest 
-only\fR parameter is set, then all the other 
-stages are missed and only the    \fIguest account\fR username is checked.

-Is a username is sent with the share connection 
-request, then this username (after mapping - see \fIusername map\fR), 
-is added as a potential username.

-\fR request (the SessionSetup SMB call) then the

+root preexec (S)
+This is the same as the \fIpreexec\fR parameter except that the command is run as root\&. This is useful for mounting filesystems (such as CDROMs) when a connection is opened\&.
 
-If the \fIguest only\fR parameter is 
-not set, then this list is then tried with the supplied password. 
-The first user for whom the password matches will be used as the 
-UNIX user.
-
-If the \fIguest only\fR parameter is 
-set, or no username can be determined then if the share is marked 
-as available to the \fIguest account\fR, then this 
-guest user will be used, otherwise access is denied.
-
-Note that it can be \fBvery\fR confusing 
-in share-level security as to which UNIX username will eventually
-be used in granting access.
-
-See also the section   NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION.
-
->\fBSECURITY = USER
-\fR
-
-This is the default security setting in Samba 3.0. 
-With user-level security a client must first "log-on" with a 
-valid username and password (which can be mapped using the \fIusername map\fR 
-parameter). Encrypted passwords (see the   \fIencrypted passwords\fR parameter) can also
-be used in this security mode. Parameters such as   \fIuser\fR and   \fIguest only\fR if set are then applied and 
-may change the UNIX user to use on this connection, but only after 
-the user has been successfully authenticated.
-
-\fBNote\fR that the name of the resource being 
-requested is \fBnot\fR sent to the server until after 
-the server has successfully authenticated the client. This is why 
-guest shares don't work in user level security without allowing 
-the server to automatically map unknown users into the \fIguest account\fR. 
-See the \fImap to guest\fR
-parameter for details on doing this.
-
-See also the section   NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION.
-
->\fBSECURITY = DOMAIN
-\fR
-
-This mode will only work correctly if \fBnet\fR(8) has been used to add this
-machine into a Windows NT Domain. It expects the \fIencrypted passwords\fR
-parameter to be set to yes. In this 
-mode Samba will try to validate the username/password by passing
-it to a Windows NT Primary or Backup Domain Controller, in exactly 
-the same way that a Windows NT Server would do.
-
-\fBNote\fR that a valid UNIX user must still 
-exist as well as the account on the Domain Controller to allow 
-Samba to have a valid UNIX account to map file access to.
-
-\fBNote\fR that from the client's point

-\fR. It only affects how the server deals with the authentication,

-
-See also the \fIpassword

-
->\fBSECURITY = SERVER
-\fR
-
-In this mode 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 \fBsecurity =
-user\fR. It expects the \fIencrypted passwords\fR
-parameter to be set to
-yes, unless the remote server
-does not support them.  However note
-that if encrypted passwords have been negotiated then Samba cannot 
-revert back to checking the UNIX password file, it must have a valid 
-\fIsmbpasswd\fR file to check users against. See the 
-documentation file in the \fIdocs/\fR directory 
-\fIENCRYPTION.txt\fR for details on how to set this 
-up.
-
-\fBNote\fR this mode of operation
-has significant pitfalls, due to the fact that is
-activly initiates a man-in-the-middle attack on the
-remote SMB server.  In particular, this mode of
-operation can cause significant resource consuption on
-the PDC, as it must maintain an active connection for
-the duration of the user's session.  Furthermore, if
-this connection is lost, there is no way to

+security (G)
+This option affects how clients respond to Samba and is one of the most important settings in the \fI smb\&.conf\fR file\&.
+
+
+The option sets the "security mode bit" in replies to protocol negotiations with \fBsmbd\fR(8) 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 \fBsecurity = user\fR, as this is the most common setting needed when talking to Windows 98 and Windows NT\&.
+
+
+The alternatives are \fBsecurity = share\fR, \fBsecurity = server\fR or \fBsecurity = domain \fR\&.
+
+
+In versions of Samba prior to 2\&.0\&.0, the default was \fBsecurity = share\fR mainly because that was the only option at one stage\&.
+
+
+There is a bug in WfWg that has relevance to this setting\&. When in user or server 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 your PCs use usernames that are the same as their usernames on the UNIX machine then you will want to use \fBsecurity = user\fR\&. If you mostly use usernames that don't exist on the UNIX box then use \fBsecurity = share\fR\&.
+
+
+You should also use \fBsecurity = share\fR if you want to mainly setup shares without a password (guest shares)\&. This is commonly used for a shared printer server\&. It is more difficult to setup guest shares with \fBsecurity = user\fR, see the \fImap to guest\fR parameter for details\&.
+
+
+It is possible to use \fBsmbd\fR in a \fB hybrid mode\fR where it is offers both user and share level security under different \fINetBIOS aliases\fR\&.
+
+
+The different settings will now be explained\&.
+
+
+\fBSECURITY = SHARE\fR
+
+
+When clients connect to a share level security server they need not log onto the server with a valid username and password before attempting to connect to a shared resource (although modern clients such as Windows 95/98 and Windows NT will send a logon request with a username but no password when talking to a \fBsecurity = share \fR server)\&. Instead, the clients send authentication information (passwords) on a per-share basis, at the time they attempt to connect to that share\&.
+
+
+Note that \fBsmbd\fR \fBALWAYS\fR uses a valid UNIX user to act on behalf of the client, even in \fBsecurity = share\fR level security\&.
+
+
+As clients are not required to send a username to the server in share level security, \fBsmbd\fR uses several techniques to determine the correct UNIX user to use on behalf of the client\&.
+
+
+A list of possible UNIX usernames to match with the given client password is constructed using the following methods :
+
+
+If the \fIguest only\fR parameter is set, then all the other stages are missed and only the \fIguest account\fR username is checked\&.
+
+Is a username is sent with the share connection request, then this username (after mapping - see \fIusername map\fR), is added as a potential username\&.
+
+If the client did a previous \fBlogon \fR request (the SessionSetup SMB call) then the username sent in this SMB will be added as a potential username\&.
+
+The name of the service the client requested is added as a potential username\&.
+
+The NetBIOS name of the client is added to the list as a potential username\&.
+
+Any users on the \fI user\fR list are added as potential usernames\&.
+
+If the \fIguest only\fR parameter is not set, then this list is then tried with the supplied password\&. The first user for whom the password matches will be used as the UNIX user\&.
+
+
+If the \fIguest only\fR parameter is set, or no username can be determined then if the share is marked as available to the \fIguest account\fR, then this guest user will be used, otherwise access is denied\&.
+
+
+Note that it can be \fBvery\fR confusing in share-level security as to which UNIX username will eventually be used in granting access\&.
+
+
+See also the section NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION\&.
+
+
+\fBSECURITY = USER\fR
+
+
+This is the default security setting in Samba 3\&.0\&. With user-level security a client must first "log-on" with a valid username and password (which can be mapped using the \fIusername map\fR parameter)\&. Encrypted passwords (see the \fIencrypted passwords\fR parameter) can also be used in this security mode\&. Parameters such as \fIuser\fR and \fIguest only\fR if set are then applied and may change the UNIX user to use on this connection, but only after the user has been successfully authenticated\&.
+
+
+\fBNote\fR that the name of the resource being requested is \fBnot\fR sent to the server until after the server has successfully authenticated the client\&. This is why guest shares don't work in user level security without allowing the server to automatically map unknown users into the \fIguest account\fR\&. See the \fImap to guest\fR parameter for details on doing this\&.
+
+
+See also the section NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION\&.
+
+
+\fBSECURITY = DOMAIN\fR
+
+
+This mode will only work correctly if \fBnet\fR(8) has been used to add this machine into a Windows NT Domain\&. It expects the \fIencrypted passwords\fR parameter to be set to \fByes\fR\&. In this mode Samba will try to validate the username/password by passing it to a Windows NT Primary or Backup Domain Controller, in exactly the same way that a Windows NT Server would do\&.
+
+
+\fBNote\fR that a valid UNIX user must still exist as well as the account on the Domain Controller to allow Samba to have a valid UNIX account to map file access to\&.
+
+
+\fBNote\fR that from the client's point of view \fBsecurity = domain\fR is the same as \fBsecurity = user\fR\&. It only affects how the server deals with the authentication, it does not in any way affect what the client sees\&.
+
+
+\fBNote\fR that the name of the resource being requested is \fBnot\fR sent to the server until after the server has successfully authenticated the client\&. This is why guest shares don't work in user level security without allowing the server to automatically map unknown users into the \fIguest account\fR\&.

+
+See also the section NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD VALIDATION\&.
+
+
+See also the \fIpassword server\fR parameter and the \fIencrypted passwords\fR parameter\&.
+
+
+\fBSECURITY = SERVER\fR
+
+
+In this mode 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 \fBsecurity = user\fR\&. It expects the \fIencrypted passwords\fR parameter to be set to \fByes\fR, unless the remote server does not support them\&. However note that if encrypted passwords have been negotiated then Samba cannot revert back to checking the UNIX password file, it must have a valid \fIsmbpasswd\fR file to check users against\&. See the documentation file in the \fIdocs/\fR directory \fIENCRYPTION\&.txt\fR for details on how to set this up\&.
+
+
+\fBNote\fR this mode of operation has significant pitfalls, due to the fact that is activly initiates a man-in-the-middle attack on the remote SMB server\&. In particular, this mode of operation can cause significant resource consuption on the PDC, as it must maintain an active connection for the duration of the user's session\&. Furthermore, if this connection is lost, there is no way to reestablish it, and futher authenticaions to the Samba server may fail\&. (From a single client, till it disconnects)\&.
+
+
+\fBNote\fR that from the client's point of view \fBsecurity = server\fR is the same as \fBsecurity = user\fR\&. It only affects how the server deals with the authentication, it does not in any way affect what the client sees\&.

+\fBsmbclient\fR is a client that can 'talk' to an SMB/CIFS server\&. It offers an interface similar to that of the ftp program (see \fBftp\fR(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"
+
+.TP
+servicename
+servicename is the name of the service you want to use on the server\&. A service name takes the form \fI//server/service\fR where \fIserver \fR is the NetBIOS name of the SMB/CIFS server offering the desired service and \fIservice\fR is the name of the service offered\&. Thus to connect to the service "printer" on the SMB/CIFS server "smbserver", you would use the servicename \fI//smbserver/printer \fR
+
+
+Note that the server name required is NOT necessarily the IP (DNS) host name of the server ! The name required is a NetBIOS server name, which may or may not be the same as the IP hostname of the machine running the server\&.
+
+
+The server name is looked up according to either the \fI-R\fR parameter to \fBsmbclient\fR or using the name resolve order parameter in the \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) file, allowing an administrator to change the order and methods by which server names are looked up\&.
+
+
+.TP
+password
+The password required to access the specified service on the specified server\&. If this parameter is supplied, the \fI-N\fR option (suppress password prompt) is assumed\&.
+
+
+There is no default password\&. If no password is supplied on the command line (either by using this parameter or adding a password to the \fI-U\fR option (see below)) and the \fI-N\fR option is not specified, the client will prompt for a password, even if the desired service does not require one\&. (If no password 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\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-R <name resolve order>
+This option is used by the programs in the Samba suite to determine what naming services and in what order to resolve host names to IP addresses\&. The option takes a space-separated string of different name resolution options\&.
+
+
+The options are :"lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast"\&. They cause names to be resolved as follows:
+
+
+\fBlmhosts\fR: Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file\&. If the line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the NetBIOS name (see the \fBlmhosts\fR(5) for details) then any name type matches for lookup\&.
+
+\fBhost\fR: Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using the system \fI/etc/hosts \fR, NIS, or DNS lookups\&. This method of name resolution is operating system dependent, for instance on IRIX or Solaris this may be controlled by the \fI/etc/nsswitch\&.conf\fR file)\&. Note that this method is only used if the NetBIOS name type being queried is the 0x20 (server) name type, otherwise it is ignored\&.
+
+\fBwins\fR: Query a name with the IP address listed in the \fIwins server\fR parameter\&. If no WINS server has been specified this method will be ignored\&.
+
+\fBbcast\fR: Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces listed in the \fIinterfaces\fR parameter\&. This is the least reliable of the name resolution methods as it depends on the target host being on a locally connected subnet\&.
+
+If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order defined in the \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) file parameter (name resolve order) will be used\&.
+
+
+The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast and without this parameter or any entry in the \fIname resolve order \fR parameter of the \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) file the name resolution methods will be attempted in this order\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-M NetBIOS name
+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 \fBsmbclient\fR\&. For example: \fB cat mymessage.txt | smbclient -M FRED \fR will send the message in the file \fImymessage\&.txt\fR to the machine FRED\&.
+
+
+You may also find the \fI-U\fR and \fI-I\fR options useful, as they allow you to control the FROM and TO parts of the message\&.
+
+
+See the \fImessage command\fR parameter in the \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) for a description of how to handle incoming WinPopup messages in Samba\&.
+
+
+\fBNote\fR: Copy WinPopup into the startup group on your WfWg PCs if you want them to always be able to receive messages\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-p port
+This number is the TCP port number that will be used when making connections to the server\&. The standard (well-known) TCP port number for an SMB/CIFS server is 139, which is the default\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-l logfilename
+If specified, \fIlogfilename\fR 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 debug file would be \fIlog\&.client\fR\&.
+
+
+The log file generated is never removed by the client\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-h|--help
+Print a summary of command line options\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-I IP-address
+\fIIP address\fR is the address of the server to connect to\&. It should be specified in standard "a\&.b\&.c\&.d" notation\&.
+
+
+Normally the client would attempt to locate a named SMB/CIFS server by looking it up via the NetBIOS name resolution mechanism described above in the \fIname resolve order\fR parameter above\&. Using this parameter will force the client to assume that the server is on the machine with the specified IP address and the NetBIOS name component of the resource being connected to will be ignored\&.
+
+
+There is no default for this parameter\&. If not supplied, it will be determined automatically by the client as described above\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-E
+This parameter 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\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-L
+This option allows you to look at what services are available on a server\&. You use it as \fBsmbclient -L host\fR and a list should appear\&. The \fI-I \fR option may be useful if your NetBIOS names don't match your TCP/IP DNS host names or if you are trying to reach a host on another network\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-t terminal code
+This option tells \fBsmbclient\fR how to interpret filenames coming from the remote server\&. Usually Asian language multibyte UNIX implementations use different character sets than SMB/CIFS servers (\fBEUC\fR instead of \fB SJIS\fR for example)\&. Setting this parameter will let \fBsmbclient\fR convert between the UNIX filenames and the SMB filenames correctly\&. This option has not been seriously tested and may have some problems\&.
+
+
+The terminal codes include CWsjis, CWeuc, CWjis7, CWjis8, CWjunet, CWhex, CWcap\&. This is not a complete list, check the Samba source code for the complete list\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-b buffersize
+This option changes the transmit/send buffer size when getting or putting a file from/to the server\&. The default is 65520 bytes\&. Setting this value smaller (to 1200 bytes) has been observed to speed up file transfers to and from a Win9x server\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-V
+Prints the version number for \fBsmbd\fR\&.
+
+
+.TP
+-s <configuration file>
+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 \fI smb\&.conf(5)\fR for more information\&. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time\&.

+When lowercasing is toggled ON, local filenames are converted to lowercase when using the get and mget commands\&. This is often useful when copying (say) MSDOS files from a server, because lowercase filenames are the norm on UNIX systems\&.
+
+
+.TP
+ls <mask>
+See the dir command above\&.
+
+
+.TP
+mask <mask>
+This command allows the user to set up a mask which will be used during recursive operation of the mget and mput commands\&.
+
+
+The masks specified to the mget and mput commands act as filters for directories rather than files when recursion is toggled ON\&.
+
+
+The mask specified with the mask command is necessary to filter files within those directories\&. For example, if the mask specified in an mget command is "source*" and the mask specified with the mask command is "*\&.c" and recursion is toggled ON, the 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 mask defaults to blank (equivalent to "*") and remains so until the 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 mask back to "*" after using the mget or mput commands\&.
+
+
+.TP
+md <directory name>
+See the mkdir command\&.
+
+
+.TP
+mget <mask>
+Copy all files matching \fImask\fR from the server to the machine running the client\&.
+
+
+Note that \fImask\fR is interpreted differently during recursive operation and non-recursive operation - refer to the recurse and mask commands for more information\&. Note that all transfers in \fBsmbclient\fR are binary\&. See also the lowercase command\&.
+
+
+.TP
+mkdir <directory name>
+Create a new directory on the server (user access privileges permitting) with the specified name\&.
+
+
+.TP
+mput <mask>
+Copy all files matching \fImask\fR in the current working directory on the local machine to the current working directory on the server\&.
+
+
+Note that \fImask\fR is interpreted differently during recursive operation and non-recursive operation - refer to the recurse and mask commands for more information\&. Note that all transfers in \fBsmbclient\fR are binary\&.
+
+
+.TP
+print <file name>
+Print the specified file from the local machine through a printable service on the server\&.
+
+
+See also the printmode command\&.
+
+
+.TP
+printmode <graphics or text>
+Set the print mode to suit either binary data (such as graphical information) or text\&. Subsequent print commands will use the currently set print mode\&.
+
+
+.TP
+prompt
+Toggle prompting for filenames during operation of the mget and mput commands\&.
+
+
+When toggled ON, the user will be prompted to confirm the transfer of each file during these commands\&. When toggled OFF, all specified files will be transferred without prompting\&.
+
+
+.TP
+put <local file name> [remote file name]
+Copy the file called \fIlocal file name\fR from the machine running the client to the server\&. If specified, name the remote copy \fIremote file name\fR\&. Note that all transfers in \fBsmbclient\fR are binary\&. See also the lowercase command\&.
+
+
+.TP
+queue
+Displays the print queue, showing the job id, name, size and current status\&.
+
+
+.TP
+quit
+See the exit command\&.
+
+
+.TP
+rd <directory name>
+See the rmdir command\&.
+
+
+.TP
+recurse
+Toggle directory recursion for the commands mget and mput\&.
+
+
+When toggled ON, these commands will process all directories in the source directory (i\&.e\&., the directory they are copying from ) and will recurse into any that match the mask specified to the command\&. Only files that match the mask specified using the mask command will be retrieved\&. See also the mask command\&.
+
+
+When recursion is toggled OFF, only files from the current working directory on the source machine that match the mask specified to the mget or mput commands will be copied, and any mask specified using the mask command will be ignored\&.
+
+
+.TP
+rm <mask>
+Remove all files matching \fImask\fR from the current working directory on the server\&.
+
+
+.TP
+rmdir <directory name>
+Remove the specified directory (user access privileges permitting) from the server\&.
+
+
+.TP
+setmode <filename> <perm=[+|\\-]rsha>
+A version of the DOS attrib command to set file permissions\&. For example:
+
 
 \fBsetmode myfile +r \fR
 
-would make myfile read only. 
-.TP
-\fBsymlink source destination\fR
-This command depends on the server supporting the CIFS
-UNIX extensions and will fail if the server does not. The client requests that the server
-create a symbolic hard link between the source and destination files. The source file
-must not exist. Note that the server will not create a link to any path that lies 
-outside the currently connected share. This is enforced by the Samba server.
-.TP
-\fBtar <c|x>[IXbgNa]\fR
-Performs a tar operation - see the \fI-T
-\fR command line option above. Behavior may be affected 
-by the tarmode command (see below). Using g (incremental) and N 
-(newer) will affect tarmode settings. Note that using the "-" option 
-with tar x may not work - use the command line option instead. 
-.TP
-\fBblocksize <blocksize>\fR
-Blocksize. Must be followed by a valid (greater 
-than zero) blocksize. Causes tar file to be written out in 
-\fIblocksize\fR*TBLOCK (usually 512 byte) blocks. 
-.TP
-\fBtarmode <full|inc|reset|noreset>\fR
-Changes tar's behavior with regard to archive 
-bits. In full mode, tar will back up everything regardless of the 
-archive bit setting (this is the default mode). In incremental mode, 
-tar will only back up files with the archive bit set. In reset mode,
