+\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

+\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.

+\fB-n <primary NetBIOS name>\fR
+This option allows you to override
+the NetBIOS name that Samba uses for itself. This is identical
+to setting the \fINetBIOS

+\fBsmb.conf\fR(5).

+\fB-i <scope>\fR
+This specifies a NetBIOS scope that
+\fBnmblookup\fR will use to communicate with when
+generating NetBIOS names. For details on the use of NetBIOS
+scopes, see rfc1001.txt and rfc1002.txt. NetBIOS scopes are
+\fBvery\fR rarely used, only set this parameter
+if you are the system administrator in charge of all the
+NetBIOS systems you communicate with.

+\fB-W|--workgroup=domain\fR
+Set the SMB domain of the username. This
