+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+
+ <para>This tool is part of the <ulink url="samba.7.html">
+ Samba</ulink> suite.</para>
+
+ <para><command>smbsh</command> allows you to access an NT filesystem
+ using UNIX commands such as <command>ls</command>, <command>
+ egrep</command>, and <command>rcp</command>. You must use a
+ shell that is dynamically linked in order for <command>smbsh</command>
+ to work correctly.</para>

+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>-W WORKGROUP</term>
+ <listitem><para>Override the default workgroup specified in the
+ workgroup parameter of the <filename>smb.conf</filename> file
+ for this session. This may be needed to connect to some
+ servers. </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>-U username[%pass]</term>
+ <listitem><para>Sets the SMB username or username and password.
+ If this option is not specified, the user will be prompted for
+ both the username and the password. If %pass is not specified,
+ the user will be prompted for the password.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>-P prefix</term><listitem><para>This option allows
+ the user to set the directory prefix for SMB access. The
+ default value if this option is not specified is
+ <emphasis>smb</emphasis>.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>-R &lt;name resolve order&gt;</term>
+ <listitem><para>This option is used to determine what naming
+ services and in what order to resolve
+ host names to IP addresses. The option takes a space-separated
+ string of different name resolution options.</para>
+
+ <para>The options are :"lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast".
+ They cause names to be resolved as follows :</para>
+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para><constant>lmhosts</constant> :
+ 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 <ulink url="lmhosts.5.html">lmhosts(5)</ulink>
+ for details) then any name type matches for lookup.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para><constant>host</constant> :
+ Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using
+ the system <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>, 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 <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf
+ </filename> 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.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para><constant>wins</constant> :
+ Query a name with the IP address listed in the
+ <parameter>wins server</parameter> parameter. If no
+ WINS server has been specified this method will be
+ ignored.
+ </para></listitem>
+
+ <listitem><para><constant>bcast</constant> :
+ Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces
+ listed in the <parameter>interfaces</parameter>
+ parameter. This is the least reliable of the name
+ resolution methods as it depends on the target host
+ being on a locally connected subnet.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </itemizedlist>
+
+ <para>If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order
+ defined in the <filename>smb.conf</filename> file parameter
+ (name resolve order) will be used. </para>
+
+ <para>The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast. Without
+ this parameter or any entry in the <parameter>name resolve order
+ </parameter> parameter of the <filename>smb.conf</filename>
+ file, the name resolution methods will be attempted in this
+ order. </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>-d &lt;debug level&gt;</term>
+ <listitem><para>debug level is an integer from 0 to 10.</para>
+
+ <para>The default value if this parameter is not specified
+ is zero.</para>
+
+ <para>The higher this value, the more detail will be logged
+ about the activities of <command>nmblookup</command>. At level
+ 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged.
+ </para></listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>-l logfilename</term>
+ <listitem><para>If specified causes all debug messages to be

+
+ <varlistentry>

+ <title>EXAMPLES</title>
+
+ <para>To use the <command>smbsh</command> command, execute <command>
+ smbsh</command> from the prompt and enter the username and password
+ that authenticates you to the machine running the Windows NT
+ operating system.</para>
+
+ <para><programlisting>
+ <prompt>system% </prompt><userinput>smbsh</userinput>
+ <prompt>Username: </prompt><userinput>user</userinput>
+ <prompt>Password: </prompt><userinput>XXXXXXX</userinput>
+ </programlisting></para>
+
+
+ <para>Any dynamically linked command you execute from
+ this shell will access the <filename>/smb</filename> directory
+ using the smb protocol. For example, the command <command>ls /smb
+ </command> will show a list of workgroups. The command
+ <command>ls /smb/MYGROUP </command> will show all the machines in
+ the workgroup MYGROUP. The command
+ <command>ls /smb/MYGROUP/&lt;machine-name&gt;</command> will show the share
+ names for that machine. You could then, for example, use the <command>
+ cd</command> command to change directories, <command>vi</command> to
+ edit files, and <command>rcp</command> to copy files.</para>

+ <title>VERSION</title>
+
+ <para>This man page is correct for version 3.0 of
+ the Samba suite.</para>
+</refsect1>
+
+<refsect1>
+ <title>BUGS</title>
+
+ <para><command>smbsh</command> works by intercepting the standard
+ libc calls with the dynamically loaded versions in <filename>
+ smbwrapper.o</filename>. Not all calls have been "wrapped", so
+ some programs may not function correctly under <command>smbsh
+ </command>.</para>
+
+ <para>Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make
+ use of <command>smbsh</command>'s functionality. Most versions
+ of UNIX have a <command>file</command> command that will
+ describe how a program was linked.</para>

+ <title>AUTHOR</title>
+
+ <para>The original Samba software and related utilities
+ were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
+ by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
+ to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
+
+ <para>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
+ The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
+ excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
+ <ulink url="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/">
+ ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</ulink>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
+ release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
+ Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter</para>
