+<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
+
+<li><strong><strong>rpcclient</strong></strong>
+is a utility for developers for executing various MS-RPC functions. 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.
+<a name="OPTIONS"></a>
+<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
+
+<p><br><ul>
+<p><br><a name="minusd"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-d debuglevel</strong></strong>
+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).
+<p><br><a name="minusS"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-S server</strong></strong>
+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 <strong>-R</strong> option.
+<p><br><a name="minusl"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-l logbasename</strong></strong>
+File name for log/debug files. .client will be
+appended. The log file is never removed by the client.
+<p><br><a name="minusn"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-n netbios name</strong></strong>
+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.
+<p><br><a name="minusN"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-N</strong></strong>
+tells rpcclient not to ask for a password. rpcclient will prompt
+the user by default.
+<p><br><a name="minusI"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-I destIP</strong></strong>
+The IP address of the server specified with the <strong>-S</strong>
+option. Only needed when the server's NetBIOS
+name cannot be resolved using WINS or broadcast
+and isn't found in the LMHOSTS file.
+<p><br><a name="minusE"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-E</strong></strong>
+causes regedit to write messages to stderr instead of stdout.
+<p><br><a name="minusU"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-U username[%pass]</strong></strong>
+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.
+<p><br>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.
+<p><br>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 <strong>-A</strong> for more details.
+<p><br>Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or in the
+<code>PASSWD</code> environment variable. Also, on many systems the command
+line of a running process may be seen via the <code>ps</code> command to be
+safe always allow smbclient to prompt for a password and type it in
+directly.
+<p><br><a name="minusA"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-A &lt;filename&gt;</strong></strong> 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
+<p><br><code>username = &lt;value&gt;</code> <br>
+<code>password = &lt;value&gt;</code> <br>
+<p><br>Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from
+unwanted users.
+<p><br><a name="minusW"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-W domain</strong></strong>
+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).
+<p><br><a name="minusP"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-P</strong></strong>
+operate in promptless mode. Without this mode (the default)
+rpcclient displays a prompt of the form '[domain\username@host]$'
+<p><br><a name="minusc"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-c 'command string'</strong></strong>
+execute semicolon separated commands (listed below))
+<p><br><a name="minust"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-t terminalcode</strong></strong>
+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.
+<p><br><a name="minusO"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-O socket options</strong></strong>
+These socket options are the same as in smb.conf (under the bt(socket options = )
+section).
+<p><br><a name="minuss"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-s smb.conf</strong></strong>
+Specifies the location of the all important smb.conf file.
+<p><br><a name="minusi"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>-i scope</strong></strong>
+Defines the NetBIOS scope. For more information on NetBIOS scopes, see rfc1001
+and rfc1002. NetBIOS scopes are rarely used.
+<p><br></ul>
+<p><br><a name="COMMANDS"></a>
+<h2>COMMANDS</h2>
+
+<p><br><a name="SPOOLSSCMD"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>SPOOLSS Commands</strong></strong>
+<li><strong><a href="??">spoolenum</a></strong>
+Execute an EnumPrinters call. This lists the various
+installed and share printers. Refer to the MS Platform
+SDK documentation for more details of the various
+flags and calling options.
+<p><br><li><strong><a href="??">spoolenumports &lt;level&gt;</a></strong>
+Executes an EnumPorts call using the specified info level.
+Currently only info level 1 and 2 are supported.
+<p><br><li><strong><a href="??">spoolenumdata</a></strong>
+Enumerate all printer setting data stored on the server.
+On Windows NT clients, these values are stored
+in the registry, while Samba servers store them in the printers
+TDB. This command corresponds to the MS Platform SDK EnumPorts
+function.
+<p><br><li><strong><a href="??">spooljobs &lt;printer&gt;</a></strong>
+List the jobs and status of a given printer. This command
+corresponds to the MS Platform SDK EnumJobs function.
+<p><br><li><strong><a href="??">spoolopen &lt;printer&gt;</a></strong>
+Execute an OpenPrinterEx() and ClosePrinter()
+RPC against a given printer.
+<p><br><li><strong><a href="??">spoolgetdata</a></strong>
+Retrive the data for a given printer setting. See the
+<strong>spoolenumdata</strong> command for more information. This command
+corresponds to the GetPrinterData() MS Platform SDK function.
+<p><br><li><strong><a href="??">spoolgetprinter &lt;printer&gt;</a></strong>
+Retrieve the current printer information. This command
+sorresponds to the GetPrinter() MS Platform SDK function.
+<p><br><li><strong><a href="??">spoolgetprinterdriver &lt;printer&gt;</a></strong>
+Retrive the printer driver information (such as driver file,
+config file, dependent files, etc...) for the given printer.
+This command corresponds to the GetPrinterDriver() MS Platform
+SDK function.
+<p><br><li><strong><a href="??">spoolgetprinterdriverdir &lt;arch&gt;</a></strong>
+Execute a GetPrinterDriverDirectory() RPC to retreive the
+SMB share name and subdirectory for storing printer driver
+files for a given architecture. Possible values for &lt;arch&gt; are
+"Windows 4.0" (for Windows 95/98), "Windows NT x86", "Windows NT
+PowerPC", "Windows Alpha_AXP", and "Windows NT R4000".
+<p><br><li><strong><a href="??">spooladdprinter &lt;printername&gt; &lt;sharename&gt;
+&lt;drivername&gt; &lt;port&gt;</a></strong>
+Add a printer on the remote server. This printer will be automatically
+shared. Be aware that the printer driver must already be installed
+on the server (see <strong>addprinterdriver</strong>) and the &lt;port&gt; must
+be a valid port name.
+<p><br><li><strong><a href="??">spooladdprinterdriver &lt;arch&gt; &lt;config&gt;</a></strong>
+Execute an AddPrinterDriver() RPC to install the printer
+driver information on the server. Note that the driver files
+should already exist in the directort returned by
+<strong>spoolgetprinterdriverdir</strong>. Possible values for &lt;arch&gt;
+are the same as those for the <strong>spooolgetprintedriverdir</strong> command.
+The &lt;config&gt; parameter is defined as follows:
+<p><br><li><strong></strong>&lt;Long Printer Name&gt;:&lt;Driver File Name&gt;:&lt;Data File Name&gt;:&lt;Config File Name&gt;:&lt;Help File Name&gt;:&lt;Language Monitor Name&gt;:&lt;Default Data Type&gt;:&lt;Comma Separated list of Files&gt;
+<p><br><li><strong></strong>Any empty fields should be enter as the string "NULL".
+<p><br><li><strong></strong>Samba does not need to support the concept of Print Monitors
+since these only apply to local printers whose driver can make use
+of a bi-directional link for communication. This field should
+be "NULL". On a remote NT print server, the Print Monitor for a driver
+must already be installed prior to adding the driver or else the RPC
+will fail.
+<p><br><a name="GENERALCMD"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>General Commands</strong></strong>
+<li><strong><a href="??">set</a></strong>
+Set miscellaneous rpcclient command line options during a running
+session.
+<p><br><li><strong><a href="??">use</a></strong>
+Connect to a rmeote SMB server. <strong>rpcclient</strong> has the ability
+to maintain connections to multiple server simulaneously.
+<p><br><li><strong><a href="??">help</a></strong>
+Print a listing of all known commands or extended help
+on a particular command.
+<p><br><li><strong><a href="??">quit</a></strong>
+Exit rpcclient.
+<p><br><a name="BUGS"></a>
+<h2>BUGS</h2>
+
+rpcclient is designed as a developer testing tool and may not be robust
+in certain areas (such as command line parsing). It has been known to
+generate a core dump upon failures when invalid parameters where
+passed to the interpreter.
+<p><br>From Luke Leighton's original rpcclient man page:
+"WARNING! 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.
+<p><br>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
+<strong>smbd(8)</strong> and rpcclient that are incompatible for some commands or
+services. Additionally, the developers are sending reports to Microsoft,
+and problems found or reported to Microsoft are fixed in Service Packs,
+which may result in incompatibilities."

+option. Only needed when the server's NetBIOS
+name cannot be resolved using WINS or broadcast
+and isn't found in the LMHOSTS file.
+
+label(minusE)
+dit(bf(-E))
+causes regedit to write messages to stderr instead of stdout.
+
+label(minusU)
+dit(bf(-U username[%pass]))
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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 bf(-A) for more details.
+
+Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or in the
+tt(PASSWD) environment variable. Also, on many systems the command
+line of a running process may be seen via the tt(ps) command to be
+safe always allow smbclient to prompt for a password and type it in
+directly.
+
+label(minusA)
+dit(bf(-A <filename>)) 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
+
+tt(username = <value>) nl()
+tt(password = <value>) nl()
+
+Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from
+unwanted users.
+
+label(minusW)
+dit(bf(-W domain))
+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).

+dit(bf(SPOOLSS Commands))
+dit(link(spoolenum)(SPOOLSSENUMPRINTERS))
+Execute an EnumPrinters call. This lists the various
+installed and share printers. Refer to the MS Platform
+SDK documentation for more details of the various
+flags and calling options.
+
+dit(link(spoolenumports <level>)(SPOOLSSENUMPORTS))
+Executes an EnumPorts call using the specified info level.
+Currently only info level 1 and 2 are supported.
+
+dit(link(spoolenumdata)(SPOOLSSENUMPRINTERDATA))
+Enumerate all printer setting data stored on the server.
+On Windows NT clients, these values are stored
+in the registry, while Samba servers store them in the printers
+TDB. This command corresponds to the MS Platform SDK EnumPorts
+function.
+
+dit(link(spooljobs <printer>)(SPOOLSSENUMJOBS))
+List the jobs and status of a given printer. This command
+corresponds to the MS Platform SDK EnumJobs function.
+
+dit(link(spoolopen <printer>)(SPOOLSSOPENPRINTER))
+Execute an OpenPrinterEx() and ClosePrinter()
+RPC against a given printer.
+
+dit(link(spoolgetdata)(SPOOLSSGETPRINTERDATA))
+Retrive the data for a given printer setting. See the
+bf(spoolenumdata) command for more information. This command
+corresponds to the GetPrinterData() MS Platform SDK function.
+
+dit(link(spoolgetprinter <printer>)(SPOOLSSGETPRINTER))
+Retrieve the current printer information. This command
+sorresponds to the GetPrinter() MS Platform SDK function.
+
+dit(link(spoolgetprinterdriver <printer>)(SPOOLSGETPRINTERDRIVER))
+Retrive the printer driver information (such as driver file,
+config file, dependent files, etc...) for the given printer.
+This command corresponds to the GetPrinterDriver() MS Platform
+SDK function.
+
+dit(link(spoolgetprinterdriverdir <arch>)(SPOOLSSGETPRINTERDRIVERDIR))
+Execute a GetPrinterDriverDirectory() RPC to retreive the
+SMB share name and subdirectory for storing printer driver
+files for a given architecture. Possible values for <arch> are
+"Windows 4.0" (for Windows 95/98), "Windows NT x86", "Windows NT
+PowerPC", "Windows Alpha_AXP", and "Windows NT R4000".
+
+dit(link(spooladdprinter <printername> <sharename>
+<drivername> <port>)(SPOOLSSADDPRINTER))
+Add a printer on the remote server. This printer will be automatically
+shared. Be aware that the printer driver must already be installed
+on the server (see bf(addprinterdriver)) and the <port> must
+be a valid port name.
+
+dit(link(spooladdprinterdriver <arch> <config>)(SPOOLSSADDPRINTERDRIVER))
+Execute an AddPrinterDriver() RPC to install the printer
+driver information on the server. Note that the driver files
+should already exist in the directort returned by
+bf(spoolgetprinterdriverdir). Possible values for <arch>
+are the same as those for the bf(spooolgetprintedriverdir) command.
+The <config> parameter is defined as follows:
+
+dit()<Long Printer Name>:<Driver File Name>:<Data File Name>:\
+ <Config File Name>:<Help File Name>:<Language Monitor Name>:\
+ <Default Data Type>:<Comma Separated list of Files>
+
+dit()Any empty fields should be enter as the string "NULL".
+
+dit()Samba does not need to support the concept of Print Monitors
+since these only apply to local printers whose driver can make use
+of a bi-directional link for communication. This field should
+be "NULL". On a remote NT print server, the Print Monitor for a driver
+must already be installed prior to adding the driver or else the RPC
+will fail.

+label(BUGS)
+manpagesection(BUGS)
+rpcclient is designed as a developer testing tool and may not be robust
+in certain areas (such as command line parsing). It has been known to
+generate a core dump upon failures when invalid parameters where
+passed to the interpreter.
+
+From Luke Leighton's original rpcclient man page:
+"WARNING! 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.
+
+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
+bf(smbd(8)) and rpcclient that are incompatible for some commands or
+services. Additionally, the developers are sending reports to Microsoft,
+and problems found or reported to Microsoft are fixed in Service Packs,
+which may result in incompatibilities."
