to check an <a href="smbd.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smbd</span>(8)</span></a> configuration file for
internal correctness. If this program reports no problems, you
can use the configuration file with confidence that <b class="command">smbd
</b> will successfully load the configuration file.</p><p>Note that this is <span class="emphasis"><em>NOT</em></span> a guarantee that
the services specified in the configuration file will be
available or will operate as expected. </p><p>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. </p><p>If <b class="command">testparm</b> finds an error in the <tt class="filename">
smb.conf</tt> 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 <b class="command">testparm</b>.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>OPTIONS</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">-s</span></dt><dd><p>Without this option, <b class="command">testparm</b>

were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar

The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
excellent piece of Open Source software, available at <a href="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/" target="_top">
ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</a>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2
for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.</p></div></div></body></html>
