.SH NAME
rpcclient \- tool for executing client side MS-RPC functions
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBrpcclient\fR [ \fB-A authfile\fR ] [ \fB-c \fR ] [ \fB-d debuglevel\fR ] [ \fB-h\fR ] [ \fB-l logfile\fR ] [ \fB-N\fR ] [ \fB-s \fR ] [ \fB-U username[%password]\fR ] [ \fB-W workgroup\fR ] [ \fB-N\fR ] [ \fB-I destinationIP\fR ] \fBserver\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This tool is part of the \fBSamba\fR(7) suite.
.PP
\fBrpcclient\fR is a utility initially developed
to test MS-RPC functionality in Samba itself. It has undergone
several stages of development and stability. Many system administrators
have now written scripts around it to manage Windows NT clients from
their UNIX workstation.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
\fBserver\fR
NetBIOS name of Server to which to connect.
The server can be any SMB/CIFS server. The name is
resolved using the \fIname resolve order\fR line from \fBsmb.conf\fR(5).
.TP
\fB-c|--command='command string'\fR
execute semicolon separated commands (listed
below))
.TP
\fB-I IP-address\fR
\fIIP address\fR is the address of the server to connect to.
It should be specified in standard "a.b.c.d" notation.
Normally the client would attempt to locate a named
SMB/CIFS server by looking it up via the NetBIOS name resolution
mechanism described above in the \fIname resolve order\fR
parameter above. Using this parameter will force the client
to assume that the server is on the machine with the specified IP
address and the NetBIOS name component of the resource being
connected to will be ignored.
There is no default for this parameter. If not supplied,
it will be determined automatically by the client as described
above.
.TP
\fB-V\fR
Prints the version number for
\fBsmbd\fR.
.TP
\fB-s \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
to provide. See \fIsmb.conf(5)\fR for more information.
The default configuration file name is determined at
compile time.
.TP
\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.
.TP
\fB-l|--logfile=logbasename\fR
File name for log/debug files. The extension
".client" will be appended. The log file is
never removed by the client.
.TP
\fB-N\fR
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.
.TP
\fB-k\fR
Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in
an Active Directory environment.
.TP
\fB-A|--authfile=filename\fR
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
.nf
username =
password =
domain =
.fi
Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict
access from unwanted users.
.TP
\fB-U|--user=username[%password]\fR
Sets the SMB username or username and password.
If %password is not specified, the user will be prompted. The
client will first check the \fBUSER\fR environment variable, then the
\fBLOGNAME\fR 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
\fI-A\fR 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 \fBps\fR command. To be safe always allow
\fBrpcclient\fR to prompt for a password and type
it in directly.
.TP
\fB-n \fR
This option allows you to override
the NetBIOS name that Samba uses for itself. This is identical
to setting the \fINetBIOS
name\fR parameter in the \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) file. However, a command
line setting will take precedence over settings in
\fBsmb.conf\fR(5).
.TP
\fB-i \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.
.TP
\fB-W|--workgroup=domain\fR
Set the SMB domain of the username. This
overrides the default domain which is the domain defined in
smb.conf. If the domain specified is the same as the servers
NetBIOS name, it causes the client to log on using the servers local
SAM (as opposed to the Domain SAM).
.TP
\fB-O socket options\fR
TCP socket options to set on the client
socket. See the socket options parameter in
the \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) manual page for the list of valid
options.
.TP
\fB-h|--help\fR
Print a summary of command line options.

\fBadddriver \fR
Execute an AddPrinterDriver() RPC to install the printer driver
information on the server. Note that the driver files should
already exist in the directory returned by
\fBgetdriverdir\fR. Possible values for
\fIarch\fR are the same as those for
the \fBgetdriverdir\fR command.
The \fIconfig\fR parameter is defined as
follows:
.nf
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
.fi
Any empty fields should be enter as the string "NULL".
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.
.TP
\fBaddprinter \fR
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 \fBadddriver\fR)
and the \fIport\fRmust be a valid port name (see
\fBenumports\fR.
.TP
\fBdeldriver\fR
Delete the
specified printer driver for all architectures. This
does not delete the actual driver files from the server,
only the entry from the server's list of drivers.
.TP
\fBenumdata\fR
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 GetPrinterData() function (* This
command is currently unimplemented).
.TP
\fBenumdataex\fR
Enumerate printer data for a key
.TP
\fBenumjobs \fR
List the jobs and status of a given printer.
This command corresponds to the MS Platform SDK EnumJobs()
function
.TP
\fBenumkey\fR
Enumerate printer keys
.TP
\fBenumports [level]\fR
Executes an EnumPorts() call using the specified
info level. Currently only info levels 1 and 2 are supported.
.TP
\fBenumdrivers [level]\fR
Execute an EnumPrinterDrivers() call. This lists the various installed
printer drivers for all architectures. Refer to the MS Platform SDK
documentation for more details of the various flags and calling
options. Currently supported info levels are 1, 2, and 3.
.TP
\fBenumprinters [level]\fR
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. Currently
supported info levels are 0, 1, and 2.
.TP

the \fBenumdata\fR command for more information.
This command corresponds to the GetPrinterData() MS Platform
SDK function.
.TP
\fBgetdataex\fR
Get printer driver data with keyname
.TP
\fBgetdriver \fR
Retrieve 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. Currently info level 1, 2, and 3 are supported.
.TP
\fBgetdriverdir \fR
Execute a GetPrinterDriverDirectory()
RPC to retrieve the SMB share name and subdirectory for
storing printer driver files for a given architecture. Possible
values for \fIarch\fR are "Windows 4.0"
(for Windows 95/98), "Windows NT x86", "Windows NT PowerPC", "Windows
Alpha_AXP", and "Windows NT R4000".

.SH "BUGS"
.PP
\fBrpcclient\fR 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.
.PP
From Luke Leighton's original rpcclient man page:
.PP
\fBWARNING!\fR 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 flaky in places.
.PP
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 \fBsmbd\fR(8) and \fBrpcclient\fR(1) 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.
.SH "VERSION"
.PP
This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba
suite.
.SH "AUTHOR"
.PP
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.
.PP
The original rpcclient man page was written by Matthew
Geddes, Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton, and rewritten by Gerald Carter.
The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald
Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was
done by Alexander Bokovoy.
