bf(smbsh)

label(DESCRIPTION)
manpagedescription()

This program is part of the bf(Samba) suite.

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

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

verb(
system% smbsh
Username: user
Password:
)

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

tt(ls /smb)

will show all the machines in your workgroup.
The command 

tt(ls /smb/<machine-name>)

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

label(VERSION)
manpagesection(VERSION)

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

label(BUGS)
manpagebugs()

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

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

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
url(bf(ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/))(ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/))
and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy Allison.
