	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para>This tool is part of the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>

	<para>The Samba net utility is meant to work just like the net utility 
	available for windows and DOS. The first argument should be used 
	to specify the protocol to use when executing a certain command. 
	ADS is used for ActiveDirectory, RAP is using for old (Win9x/NT3) 
	clients and RPC can be used for NT4 and Windows 2000. If this 
	argument is omitted, net will try to determine it automatically. 
	Not all commands are available on all protocols.

<title>COMMANDS</title>

<refsect2>
<title>CHANGESECRETPW</title>

<para>This command allows the Samba machine account password to be set from an external application
to a machine account password that has already been stored in Active Directory. DO NOT USE this command
unless you know exactly what you are doing. The use of this command requires that the force flag (-f)
be used also. There will be NO command prompt. Whatever information is piped into stdin, either by
typing at the command line or otherwise, will be stored as the literal machine password. Do NOT use
this without care and attention as it will overwrite a legitimate machine password without warning.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

<title>USERSHARE</title>

<para>Starting with version 3.0.23, a Samba server now supports the ability for
non-root users to add user defined shares to be exported using the "net usershare"
commands.
</para>

<para>
To set this up, first set up your smb.conf by adding to the [global] section:

usershare path = /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares

Next create the directory /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares, change the owner to root and
set the group owner to the UNIX group who should have the ability to create usershares,
for example a group called "serverops".

Set the permissions on /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares to 01770.

(Owner and group all access, no access for others, plus the sticky bit,
which means that a file in that directory can be renamed or deleted only
by the owner of the file).

Finally, tell smbd how many usershares you will allow by adding to the [global]
section of smb.conf a line such as :

usershare max shares = 100.

To allow 100 usershare definitions. Now, members of the UNIX group "serverops"
can create user defined shares on demand using the commands below.
</para>

<para>The usershare commands are:

<simplelist>
<member>net usershare add sharename path [comment [acl] [guest_ok=[y|n]]] - to add or change a user defined share.</member>
<member>net usershare delete sharename - to delete a user defined share.</member>
<member>net usershare info [-l|--long] [wildcard sharename] - to print info about a user defined share.</member>
<member>net usershare list [-l|--long] [wildcard sharename] - to list user defined shares.</member>
</simplelist>

</para>

<refsect3>
<title>USERSHARE ADD <replaceable>sharename</replaceable> <replaceable>path</replaceable> <replaceable>[comment]</replaceable> <replaceable>[acl]</replaceable> <replaceable>[guest_ok=[y|n]]</replaceable></title>

<para>
Add or replace a new user defined share, with name "sharename".
</para>

<para>
"path" specifies the absolute pathname on the system to be exported.
Restrictions may be put on this, see the global smb.conf parameters:
"usershare owner only", "usershare prefix allow list", and
"usershare prefix deny list".
</para>

<para>
The optional "comment" parameter is the comment that will appear
on the share when browsed to by a client.
</para>

<para>The optional "acl" field
specifies which users have read and write access to the entire share.
Note that guest connections are not allowed unless the smb.conf parameter
"usershare allow guests" has been set. The definition of a user
defined share acl is: "user:permission", where user is a valid
username on the system and permission can be "F", "R", or "D".
"F" stands for "full permissions", ie. read and write permissions.
"D" stands for "deny" for a user, ie. prevent this user from accessing
this share.
"R" stands for "read only", ie. only allow read access to this
share (no creation of new files or directories or writing to files).
</para>

<para>
The default if no "acl" is given is "Everyone:R", which means any 
authenticated user has read-only access.
</para>

<para>
The optional "guest_ok" has the same effect as the parameter of the
same name in smb.conf, in that it allows guest access to this user
defined share. This parameter is only allowed if the global parameter
"usershare allow guests" has been set to true in the smb.conf.
</para>

There is no separate command to modify an existing user defined share,
just use the "net usershare add [sharename]" command using the same
sharename as the one you wish to modify and specify the new options
you wish. The Samba smbd daemon notices user defined share modifications
at connect time so will see the change immediately, there is no need
to restart smbd on adding, deleting or changing a user defined share.
</refsect3>

<refsect3>
<title>USERSHARE DELETE <replaceable>sharename</replaceable></title>

<para>
Deletes the user defined share by name. The Samba smbd daemon
immediately notices this change, although it will not disconnect
any users currently connected to the deleted share.
</para>

</refsect3>

<refsect3>
<title>USERSHARE INFO <replaceable>[-l|--long]</replaceable> <replaceable>[wildcard sharename]</replaceable></title>

<para>
Get info on user defined shares owned by the current user matching the given pattern, or all users.
</para>

<para>
net usershare info on its own dumps out info on the user defined shares that were
created by the current user, or restricts them to share names that match the given
wildcard pattern ('*' matches one or more characters, '?' matches only one character).
If the '-l' or '--long' option is also given, it prints out info on user defined
shares created by other users.
</para>

<para>
The information given about a share looks like:

[foobar]
path=/home/jeremy
comment=testme
usershare_acl=Everyone:F
guest_ok=n

And is a list of the current settings of the user defined share that can be
modified by the "net usershare add" command.
</para>

</refsect3>

<refsect3>
<title>USERSHARE LIST <replaceable>[-l|--long]</replaceable> <replaceable>wildcard sharename</replaceable></title>

<para>
List all the user defined shares owned by the current user matching the given pattern, or all users.
</para>

<para>
net usershare list on its own list out the names of the user defined shares that were
created by the current user, or restricts the list to share names that match the given
wildcard pattern ('*' matches one or more characters, '?' matches only one character).
If the '-l' or '--long' option is also given, it includes the names of user defined
shares created by other users.

<title>CONF</title>

<para>Starting with version 3.2.0, a Samba server can be configured by data
stored in registry. This configuration data can be edited with the new "net
conf" commands.
</para>

<para>
The deployment of this configuration data can be activated in two levels from the
<emphasis>smb.conf</emphasis> file: Share definitions from registry are
activated by setting <parameter>registry shares</parameter> to
<quote>yes</quote> in the [global] section and global configuration options are
activated by setting <smbconfoption name="include">registry</smbconfoption> in
the [global] section for a mixed configuration or by setting
<smbconfoption name="config backend">registry</smbconfoption> in the [global]
section for a registry-only configuration.
See the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smb.conf</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> manpage for details.
</para>

<para>The conf commands are:
<simplelist>
<member>net conf list - Dump the complete configuration in smb.conf like
format.</member>
<member>net conf import - Import configuration from file in smb.conf
format.</member>
<member>net conf listshares - List the registry shares.</member>
<member>net conf drop - Delete the complete configuration from

<title>CONF IMPORT <replaceable>[--test|-T]</replaceable> <replaceable>filename</replaceable> <replaceable>[section]</replaceable></title>

<para>
This command imports configuration from a file in smb.conf format.
If a section encountered in the input file is present in registry,
its contents is replaced. Sections of registry configuration that have
no counterpart in the input file are not affected. If you want to delete these,
you will have to use the "net conf drop" or "net conf delshare" commands.
Optionally, a section may be specified to restrict the effect of the
import command to that specific section. A test mode is enabled by specifying
the parameter "-T" on the commandline. In test mode, no changes are made to the
registry, and the resulting configuration is printed to standard output instead.

<refsect3>
<title>CONF GETINCLUDES <replaceable>section</replaceable></title>

<para>
Get the list of includes for the provided section (global or share).
</para>

<para>
Note that due to the nature of the registry database and the nature of include directives,
the includes need special treatment: Parameters are stored in registry by the parameter
name as valuename, so there is only ever one instance of a parameter per share.
Also, a specific order like in a text file is not guaranteed. For all real
parameters, this is perfectly ok, but the include directive is rather a meta
parameter, for which, in the smb.conf text file, the place where it is specified
between the other parameters is very important. This can not be achieved by the
simple registry smbconf data model, so there is one ordered list of includes
per share, and this list is evaluated after all the parameters of the share.
</para>

<para>
Further note that currently, only files can be included from registry
configuration. In the future, there will be the ability to include configuration
data from other registry keys.
</para>
