The default value if this option is not specified is \fBsmb\fR. .TP +\fB-s <configuration file>\fR +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 \fIsmb.conf(5)\fR for more information. +The default configuration file name is determined at +compile time. +.TP +\fB-d|--debug=debuglevel\fR +\fIdebuglevel\fR is an integer +from 0 to 10. 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. + +Note that specifying this parameter here will +override the log +level file. +.TP +\fB-R <name resolve order>\fR +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. + +The options are: "lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast". +They cause names to be resolved as follows : +.RS +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +lmhosts: +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. +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +host: +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. +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +wins: +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. +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +bcast: +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. +.RE + +If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order +defined in the \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) file parameter +(\fIname resolve order\fR) will be used. + +The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast. 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 \fB-L libdir\fR This parameter specifies the location of the shared libraries used by \fBsmbsh\fR.
