<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>This tool is part of the <ulink url="samba.7.html">
Samba</ulink> suite.</para>
<para><command>testparm</command> is a very simple test program
to check an <command>smbd</command> configuration file for
internal correctness. If this program reports no problems, you
can use the configuration file with confidence that <command>smbd
</command> will successfully load the configuration file.</para>
<para>Note that this is <emphasis>NOT</emphasis> a guarantee that
the services specified in the configuration file will be
available or will operate as expected. </para>
<para>If the optional host name and host IP address are
specified on the command line, this test program will run through
the service entries reporting whether the specified host
has access to each service. </para>
<para>If <command>testparm</command> finds an error in the <filename>
smb.conf</filename> file it returns an exit code of 1 to the calling
program, else it returns an exit code of 0. This allows shell scripts
to test the output from <command>testparm</command>.</para>

<varlistentry>
<term>configfilename</term>

<term>hostname</term>
<listitem><para>If this parameter and the following are
specified, then testparm will examine the <parameter>hosts
allow</parameter> and <parameter>hosts deny</parameter>
parameters in the <filename>smb.conf</filename> file to
determine if the hostname with this IP address would be
allowed access to the <command>smbd</command> server. If
this parameter is supplied, the hostIP parameter must also
be supplied.</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>

<title>DIAGNOSTICS</title>
<para>The program will issue a message saying whether the
configuration file loaded OK or not. This message may be preceeded by
errors and warnings if the file did not load. If the file was
loaded OK, the program then dumps all known service details
to stdout. </para>

<title>AUTHOR</title>
<para>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.</para>
<para>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
<ulink url="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/">
ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</ulink>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter</para>
