NAME

+ smbsh - Allows access to Windows NT filesystem using UNIX commands +

+

SYNOPSIS

+ +

smbsh +

+

DESCRIPTION

+ +

This program is part of the Samba suite. +

smbsh allows you to access an NT filesystem using UNIX commands +such as ls, egrep, and rcp. You must use a shell that +is dynmanically linked in order for smbsh to work correctly. +

To use the smbsh command, execute smbsh from the prompt and +enter the username and password that authenticate you to the +machine running the Windows NT operating system. +

+
+system% smbsh
+Username: user
+Password:
+
+
+ +

Any dynamically linked command you execute from this shell will +access the /smb directory using the smb protocol. +For example, the command +

ls /smb +

will show all the machines in your workgroup. +The command +

ls /smb/<machine-name> +

will show the share names for that machine. You could then, for example, use the +cd command to change directories, vi to edit files, and rcp + to copy files. +

+

VERSION

+ +

This man page is correct for the 2.0.3 of the Samba suite. +

+

BUGS

+ +

smbsh works by intercepting the standard libc calls with the dynamically loaded +versions in smbwrapper.o. Not all calls have been "wrapped" so some programs +may not function correctly under smbsh. +

Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make use of smbsh's +functionality. Most versions of UNIX have a file command that will describe how +a program was linked. +

+

AUTHOR

+ +

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by +Andrew Tridgell (samba@samba.org). Samba is now developed +by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the +Linux kernel is developed. +

The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page +sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open +Source software, available at +ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) +and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. +samba@samba.org. +

+ +1.5 An Overview of the Samba Distribution

+As mentioned earlier, Samba actually contains several programs that serve different but related purposes. Let's introduce each of them briefly, and show how they work together. The majority of the programs that come with the Samba distribution center on its two daemons. Let's take a refined look at the responsibilities of each daemon:

+
+ +smbd
+

+The +smbd daemon is responsible for managing the shared resources between the Samba server machine and its clients. It provides file, print, and browser services to +SMB clients across one or more networks. +smdb handles all notifications between the Samba server and the network clients. In addition, it is responsible for user authentication, resource locking, and data sharing through the +SMB protocol.

+ +nmbd
+

+The +nmbd daemon is a simple nameserver that mimics the WINS and NetBIOS name server functionality, as you might expect to encounter with the LAN Manager package. This daemon listens for nameserver requests and provides the appropriate information when called upon. It also provides browse lists for the Network Neighborhood and participates in browsing elections.

+The Samba distribution also comes with a small set of Unix command-line tools:

+
+smbclient
+

+An FTP-like Unix client that can be used to connect to Samba shares

+smbtar
+

+A program for backing up data in shares, similar to the Unix +tar command

+nmblookup
+

+A program that provides NetBIOS over TCP/IP name lookups

+smbpasswd
+

+A program that allows an administrator to change the encrypted passwords used by Samba

+smbstatus
+

+A program for reporting the current network connections to the shares on a Samba server

+testparm
+

+A simple program to validate the Samba configuration file

+testprns
+

+A program that tests whether various printers are recognized by the +smbd daemon

+Each significant release of Samba goes through a significant exposure test before it's announced. In addition, it is quickly updated afterward if problems or unwanted side-effects are found. The latest stable distribution as of this writing is Samba 2.0.5, the long-awaited production version of Samba 2.0. This book focuses on the functionality supported in Samba 2.0, as opposed to the older 1.9. +x versions of Samba, which are now obsolete.
