.TH SMBSH 1 "26 Apr 2000" "smbsh 2.0.7"
.PP 
.SH "NAME" 
smbsh \- Allows access to Windows NT filesystem using UNIX commands
.PP 
.SH "SYNOPSIS" 
.PP 
\fBsmbsh\fP
.PP 
.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
This program is part of the \fBSamba\fP suite\&.
.PP 
\fBsmbsh\fP allows you to access an NT filesystem using UNIX commands
such as \fBls\fP, \fBegrep\fP, and \fBrcp\fP\&. You must use a shell that
is dynmanically linked in order for \fBsmbsh\fP to work correctly\&.
.PP 
To use the \fBsmbsh\fP command, execute \fBsmbsh\fP from the prompt and
enter the username and password that authenticate you to the
machine running the Windows NT operating system\&.
.PP 

.DS 
 

system% smbsh
Username: user
Password:

.DE 
 

.PP 
Any dynamically linked command you execute from this shell will
access the \fB/smb\fP directory using the smb protocol\&.
For example, the command 
.PP 
\f(CWls /smb\fP
.PP 
will show all the machines in your workgroup\&.
The command 
.PP 
\f(CWls /smb/<machine-name>\fP
.PP 
will show the share names for that machine\&. You could then, for example, use the 
\fBcd\fP command to change directories, \fBvi\fP to edit files, and \fBrcp\fP
to copy files\&.

.SH "VERSION" 
.PP 
This man page is correct for the 2\&.0\&.3 of the Samba suite\&.
.PP 
.SH "BUGS" 
.PP 
\fBsmbsh\fP works by intercepting the standard libc calls with the dynamically loaded
versions in \fBsmbwrapper\&.o\fP\&. Not all calls have been "wrapped" so some programs
may not function correctly under \fBsmbsh\fP\&.
.PP 
Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make use of \fBsmbsh\fP\'s 
functionality\&. Most versions of UNIX have a \fBfile\fP command that will describe how
a program was linked\&.

.SH "AUTHOR" 
.PP 
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\&.
.PP 
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
\fBftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/\fP)
and updated for the Samba2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&.
samba@samba\&.org\&.
