	<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.
</para>

<refsect2>
	<title>TIME</title>

	<para>The <command>NET TIME</command> command allows you to view the time on a remote server
	or synchronise the time on the local server with the time on the remote server.</para>

<refsect3>
<title>TIME</title>

<para>Without any options, the <command>NET TIME</command> command 
displays the time on the remote server.

<title>[RPC|ADS] JOIN [TYPE] [-U username[%password]] [createupn=UPN] [createcomputer=OU] [options]</title>

<para>
Join a domain.  If the account already exists on the server, and 
[TYPE] is MEMBER, the machine will attempt to join automatically. 
(Assuming that the machine has been created in server manager)
Otherwise, a password will be prompted for, and a new account may
be created.</para>

<para>
[TYPE] may be PDC, BDC or MEMBER to specify the type of server
joining the domain.
</para>

<para>
[UPN] (ADS only) set the principalname attribute during the join.  The default
format is host/netbiosname@REALM.
</para>

<para>
[OU] (ADS only) Precreate the computer account in a specific OU.  The
OU string reads from top to bottom without RDNs, and is delimited by
a '/'.  Please note that '\' is used for escape by both the shell
and ldap, so it may need to be doubled or quadrupled to pass through, 
and it is not used as a delimiter.
</para>

<title>USERSHARE</title>

<para>Starting with version 3.0.23, a Samba server now supports the ability for
non-root users to add user define 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.

<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.
