	<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
registry.</member>
<member>net conf showshare - Show the definition of a registry share.</member>
<member>net conf addshare - Create a new registry share.</member>

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.

<title>EVENTLOG</title>

<para>Starting with version 3.4.0 net can read, dump, import and export native
win32 eventlog files (usually *.evt). evt files are used by the native Windows eventviewer tools.
</para>

<para>
The import and export of evt files can only succeed when <parameter>eventlog list</parameter> is used in
<emphasis>smb.conf</emphasis> file.
See the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smb.conf</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> manpage for details.
</para>

<para>The eventlog commands are:
<simplelist>
<member>net eventlog dump - Dump a eventlog *.evt file on the screen.</member>
<member>net eventlog import - Import a eventlog *.evt into the samba internal
tdb based representation of eventlogs.</member>
<member>net eventlog export - Export the samba internal tdb based representation
of eventlogs into an eventlog *.evt file.</member>

<title>DOM</title>

<para>Starting with version 3.2.0 Samba has support for remote join and unjoin APIs, both client and server-side. Windows supports remote join capabilities since Windows 2000.
</para>
<para>In order for Samba to be joined or unjoined remotely an account must be used that is either member of the Domain Admins group, a member of the local Administrators group or a user that is granted the SeMachineAccountPrivilege privilege.
</para>

<para>The client side support for remote join is implemented in the net dom commands which are:
<simplelist>
<member>net dom join - Join a remote computer into a domain.</member>
<member>net dom unjoin - Unjoin a remote computer from a domain.</member>
<member>net dom renamecomputer - Renames a remote computer joined to a domain.</member>
</simplelist>
</para>

<title>DOM JOIN	<replaceable>domain=DOMAIN</replaceable> <replaceable>ou=OU</replaceable> <replaceable>account=ACCOUNT</replaceable> <replaceable>password=PASSWORD</replaceable> <replaceable>reboot</replaceable></title>

<para>
Joins a computer into a domain. This command supports the following additional parameters:
</para>

<itemizedlist>

<listitem><para><replaceable>DOMAIN</replaceable> can be a NetBIOS domain name (also known as short domain name) or a DNS domain name for Active Directory Domains. As in Windows, it is also possible to control which Domain Controller to use. This can be achieved by appending the DC name using the \ separator character. Example: MYDOM\MYDC. The <replaceable>DOMAIN</replaceable> parameter cannot be NULL.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para><replaceable>OU</replaceable> can be set to a RFC 1779 LDAP DN, like <emphasis>ou=mymachines,cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com</emphasis> in order to create the machine account in a non-default LDAP containter. This optional parameter is only supported when joining Active Directory Domains.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para><replaceable>ACCOUNT</replaceable> defines a domain account that will be used to join the machine to the domain. This domain account needs to have sufficient privileges to join machines.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para><replaceable>PASSWORD</replaceable> defines the password for the domain account defined with <replaceable>ACCOUNT</replaceable>.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para><replaceable>REBOOT</replaceable> is an optional parameter that can be set to reboot the remote machine after successful join to the domain.</para></listitem>

</itemizedlist>

<para>
Note that you also need to use standard net parameters to connect and authenticate to the remote machine that you want to join. These additional parameters include: -S computer and -U user.
</para>
<para>
	Example:
	net dom join -S xp -U XP\\administrator%secret domain=MYDOM account=MYDOM\\administrator password=topsecret reboot.
</para>
<para>
This example would connect to a computer named XP as the local administrator using password secret, and join the computer into a domain called MYDOM using the MYDOM domain administrator account and password topsecret. After successful join, the computer would reboot.
</para>

</refsect3>

<refsect3>
