Diagnostics tools</A -></H1 -><P ->One of the best diagnostic tools for debugging problems is Samba itself. -You can use the -d option for both smbd and nmbd to specify what -'debug level' at which to run. See the man pages on smbd, nmbd and -smb.conf for more information on debugging options. The debug -level can range from 1 (the default) to 10 (100 for debugging passwords).</P -><P ->Another helpful method of debugging is to compile samba using the -<B -CLASS="COMMAND" ->gcc -g </B -> flag. This will include debug -information in the binaries and allow you to attach gdb to the -running smbd / nmbd process. In order to attach gdb to an smbd -process for an NT workstation, first get the workstation to make the -connection. Pressing ctrl-alt-delete and going down to the domain box -is sufficient (at least, on the first time you join the domain) to -generate a 'LsaEnumTrustedDomains'. Thereafter, the workstation -maintains an open connection, and therefore there will be an smbd -process running (assuming that you haven't set a really short smbd -idle timeout) So, in between pressing ctrl alt delete, and actually -typing in your password, you can gdb attach and continue.</P -><P ->Some useful samba commands worth investigating:</P -><P -></P -><UL -><LI -><P ->testparam | more</P -></LI -><LI -><P ->smbclient -L //{netbios name of server}</P -></LI -></UL -><P ->An SMB enabled version of tcpdump is available from -<A -HREF="http://www.tcpdump.org/" -TARGET="_top" ->http://www.tcpdup.org/</A ->. -Ethereal, another good packet sniffer for Unix and Win32 -hosts, can be downloaded from <A -HREF="http://www.ethereal.com/" -TARGET="_top" ->http://www.ethereal.com</A ->.</P -><P ->For tracing things on the Microsoft Windows NT, Network Monitor -(aka. netmon) is available on the Microsoft Developer Network CD's, -the Windows NT Server install CD and the SMS CD's. The version of -netmon that ships with SMS allows for dumping packets between any two -computers (i.e. placing the network interface in promiscuous mode). -The version on the NT Server install CD will only allow monitoring -of network traffic directed to the local NT box and broadcasts on the -local subnet.

Installing 'Network Monitor' on an NT Workstation or a Windows 9x box</A -></H1 -><P ->Installing netmon on an NT workstation requires a couple -of steps. The following are for installing Netmon V4.00.349, which comes -with Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, on Microsoft Windows NT -Workstation 4.0. The process should be similar for other version of -Windows NT / Netmon.
