samba 8 Samba System Administration tools 4.0 samba Server to provide AD and SMB/CIFS services to clients samba -D -i -M <model> --maximum-runtime=<seconds> -b --help --usage -d <debug level> --debug-stderr -s <configuration file> --option=<smb_conf_param>=<value> -l <log directory> --leak-report --leak-report-full -V This program is part of the samba 7 suite. samba is the server daemon that provides Active Directory, filesharing and printing services to clients. -D|--daemon If specified, this parameter causes the server to operate as a daemon. That is, it detaches itself and runs in the background, fielding requests on the appropriate ports. Operating the server as a daemon is the recommended way of running samba for servers that provide more than casual use file and print services. This switch is assumed if samba is executed on the command line of a shell. -i|--interactive If this parameter is specified it causes the server to run "interactively", not as a daemon, even if the server is executed on the command line of a shell. Setting this parameter negates the implicit daemon mode when run from the command line. -M|--model Select process model. --maximum-runtime=seconds Set maximum runtime of the server process till autotermination in seconds. -b|--show-build Print information about how Samba was built. -?|--help Show help message. --usage Display brief usage message. -d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL Set debug level. --debug-stderr Send debug output to STDERR. -s|--configfile=CONFIGFILE Use alternative configuration file. --option=SMB_CONF_PARAM=VALUE Set smb.conf option from command line. -l|--log-basename=LOGFILEBASE Basename for log/debug files. --leak-report Enable talloc leak reporting on exit. --leak-report-full Enable full talloc leak reporting on exit. -V|--version Print version. This man page is correct for version 4 of the Samba suite. hosts_access 5, inetd 8, smbd 8, nmbd 8, smb.conf 5, smbclient 1, testparm 1. The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
