OPTIONS

-b

Query network nodes by sending requests + as broadcasts instead of querying the (domain) master browser. +

-D

Only print a list of all + the domains known on broadcast or by the + master browser

-S

Only print a list of + all the domains and servers responding on broadcast or + known by the master browser. +

-V

Prints the version number for +smbd.

-s <configuration file>

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 smb.conf(5) for more information. +The default configuration file name is determined at +compile time.

-d|--debug=debuglevel

debuglevel 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 parameter in the smb.conf(5) file.

-l|--logfile=logbasename

File name for log/debug files. The extension +".client" will be appended. The log file is +never removed by the client.

-N

If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal +password prompt from the client to the user. This is useful when +accessing a service that does not require a password.

Unless a password is specified on the command line or +this parameter is specified, the client will request a +password.

-k

Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in +an Active Directory environment.

-A|--authfile=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

username = <value>
+password = <value>
+domain   = <value>

Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict +access from unwanted users.

-U|--user=username[%password]

Sets the SMB username or username and password.

If %password is not specified, the user will be prompted. The +client will first check the USER environment variable, then the +LOGNAME variable and if either exists, the +string is uppercased. If these environmental variables are not +found, the username GUEST is used.

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 does not +wish 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 +-A for more details.

Be cautious about including passwords in scripts. Also, on +many systems the command line of a running process may be seen +via the ps command. To be safe always allow +rpcclient to prompt for a password and type +it in directly.

-h|--help

Print a summary of command line options.
