It\'s +primary use is for testing Samba\'s own MS-RPC server implementation, however +many administrators have written scripts around it to manage Windows NT clients +from their UNIX workstation\&. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.PP +.IP +.IP "\fB-d debuglevel\fP" +set the debuglevel\&. Debug level 0 is the lowest and 100 being the +highest\&. This should be set to 100 if you are planning on +submitting a bug report to the Samba team (see BUGS\&.txt)\&. +.IP +.IP "\fB-S server\fP" +NetBIOS name of Server to which you wish to connect\&. The server can be +any SMB/CIFS server\&. The name is resolved using either the "name resolve +order = " line or by using the \fB-R\fP option\&. +.IP +.IP "\fB-l logbasename\fP" +File name for log/debug files\&. \&.client will be +appended\&. The log file is never removed by the client\&. +.IP +.IP "\fB-n netbios name\fP" +NetBIOS name of the local machine\&. This option +is only needed if your Samba client cannot find +it automatically\&. Samba should use the uppercase of the machine\'s +hostname\&. +.IP +.IP "\fB-N\fP" +tells rpcclient not to ask for a password\&. rpcclient will prompt +the user by default\&. +.IP +.IP "\fB-I destIP\fP" +The IP address of the server specified with the \fB-S\fP +option\&. Only needed when the server\'s NetBIOS +name cannot be resolved using WINS or broadcast +and isn\'t found in the LMHOSTS file\&. +.IP +.IP "\fB-E\fP" +causes regedit to write messages to stderr instead of stdout\&. +.IP +.IP "\fB-U username[%pass]\fP" +Sets the SMB username or username and password\&. If %pass is not +specified, The user will be prompted\&. The client will first check the USER +environment variable, then the LOGNAME variable and if either exist, the +string is uppercased\&. Anything in these variables following a % sign will be +treated as the password\&. If these environmental variables are not found, the +username GUEST is used\&. +.IP +If the password is not included in these environment variables +(using the %pass syntax), rpcclient will look for a PASSWD environment +variable from which to read the password\&. +.IP +A third option is to use a credentials file which contains +the plaintext of the username and password\&. This option is +mainly provided for scripts where the admin doesn\'t desire to +pass the credentials on the command line or via environment variables\&. +If this method is used, make certain that the permissions on the file +restrict access from unwanted users\&. See the \fB-A\fP for more details\&. +.IP +Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or in the +\f(CWPASSWD\fP environment variable\&. Also, on many systems the command +line of a running process may be seen via the \f(CWps\fP command to be +safe always allow smbclient to prompt for a password and type it in +directly\&. +.IP +.IP "\fB-A <filename>\fP" +This option allows you to specify a file from which +to read the username and password used in the connection\&. The format +of the file is +.IP +\f(CWusername = <value>\fP +.br +\f(CWpassword = <value>\fP +.br +.IP +Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from +unwanted users\&. +.IP +.IP "\fB-W domain\fP" +Set the SMB domain of the username\&. This overrides the default +domain which is the domain of the server specified with the +bt(-S) option\&. If the domain specified is the same as the server\'s +NetBIOS name, it causes the client to log on using the +server\'s local SAM (as opposed to the Domain SAM)\&. +.IP +.IP "\fB-P\fP" +operate in promptless mode\&. Without this mode (the default) +rpcclient displays a prompt of the form \'[domain\eusername@host]$\' +.IP +.IP "\fB-c \'command string\'\fP" +execute semicolon separated commands (listed below)) +.IP +.IP "\fB-t terminalcode\fP" +This tells the Samba client how to interpret the incoming filenames, in regards +to character sets\&. The list here is not complete\&. For a complete list see your +local Samba source\&. Some valid options are sjis, euc, jis7, jis8, junet and hex\&. +.IP +.IP "\fB-O socket options\fP" +These socket options are the same as in smb\&.conf (under the bt(socket options = ) +section)\&. +.IP +.IP "\fB-s smb\&.conf\fP" +Specifies the location of the all important smb\&.conf file\&. +.IP +.IP "\fB-i scope\fP" +Defines the NetBIOS scope\&.

The MSRPC over SMB code has been developed from examining +Network traces\&. No documentation is available from the original creators +(Microsoft) on how MSRPC over SMB works, or how the individual MSRPC services +work\&. Microsoft\'s implementation of these services has been demonstrated +(and reported) to be\&.\&.\&. a bit flakey in places\&. +.PP +The development of Samba\'s implementation is also a bit rough, and as more +of the services are understood, it can even result in versions of +\fBsmbd(8)\fP and rpcclient that are incompatible for some commands or +services\&.
