.SH NAME
net \- Tool for administration of Samba and remote CIFS servers.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"

.nf
\fBnet\fR {<ads|rap|rpc>} [-h] [-w workgroup] [-W myworkgroup] [-U user] [-I ip-address]
    [-p port] [-n myname] [-s conffile] [-S server] [-l] [-P] [-D debuglevel]
   
.fi

.SH "DESCRIPTION"

.PP
This tool is part of the \fBSamba\fR(7) suite\&.

.PP
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\&.

.SH "OPTIONS"

.TP
-h|--help
Print a summary of command line options\&.


.TP
-w target-workgroup
Sets target workgroup or domain\&. You have to specify either this option or the IP address or the name of a server\&.


.TP
-W workgroup
Sets client workgroup or domain


.TP
-U user
User name to use


.TP
-I ip-address
IP address of target server to use\&. You have to specify either this option or a target workgroup or a target server\&.


.TP
-p port
Port on the target server to connect to (usually 139 or 445)\&. Defaults to trying 445 first, then 139\&.


.TP
-n <primary NetBIOS name>
This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses for itself\&. This is identical to setting the \fINetBIOS name\fR parameter in the \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) file\&. However, a command line setting will take precedence over settings in \fBsmb.conf\fR(5)\&.


.TP
-s <configuration file>
The file specified contains the configuration details required by the server\&. The information in this file includes server-specific information such as what printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide\&. See \fI smb\&.conf(5)\fR for more information\&. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time\&.


.TP
-S server
Name of target server\&. You should specify either this option or a target workgroup or a target IP address\&.


.TP
-l
When listing data, give more information on each item\&.


.TP
-P
Make queries to the external server using the machine account of the local server\&.


.TP
-d|--debug=debuglevel
\fIdebuglevel\fR is an integer from 0 to 10\&. The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero\&.


The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about the activities of the server\&. At level 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged\&. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day to day running - it generates a small amount of information about operations carried out\&.


Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should only be used when investigating a problem\&. Levels above 3 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic\&.


Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log level parameter in the \fIsmb\&.conf(5)\fR file\&.
