SMBSH(1)							      SMBSH(1)

NAME
       smbsh - Allows access to remote SMB shares using UNIX commands

SYNOPSIS
       smbsh [-W workgroup] [-U username] [-P prefix]
	     [-R <name resolve order>] [-d <debug level>] [-l logdir]
	     [-L libdir]

DESCRIPTION
       This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

       smbsh allows you to access an NT filesystem using UNIX commands such as
       ls,  egrep, and rcp. You must use a shell that is dynamically linked in
       order for smbsh to work correctly.

OPTIONS
       -W WORKGROUP
	      Override the default workgroup specified in the workgroup param‐
	      eter of the smb.conf(5) file for this session. This may be need‐
	      ed to connect to some servers.

       -U username[%pass]
	      Sets  the	 SMB username or username and password. If this option
	      is not specified, the user will be prompted for both  the	 user‐
	      name  and the password. If %pass is not specified, the user will
	      be prompted for the password.

       -P prefix
	      This option allows the user to set the directory prefix for  SMB
	      access. The default value if this option is not specified issmb.

       -s <configuration file>
	      The  file	 specified contains the configuration details required
	      by the server. The information in this file includes server-spe‐
	      cific  information such as what printcap file to use, as well as
	      descriptions of all the services that the server is to  provide.
	      See  smb.conf  for  more	information. The default configuration
	      file name is determined at compile time.

       -d|--debug=debuglevel
	      debuglevel 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 crit‐
	      ical  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   pa‐
	      rameter in the smb.conf file.

       -R <name resolve order>
	      This  option  is	used  to determine what naming services and in
	      what order to resolve host names to  IP  addresses.  The	option
	      takes  a space-separated string of different name resolution op‐
	      tions.

	      The options are: "lmhosts", "host",  "wins"  and	"bcast".  They
	      cause names to be resolved as follows :

	      ·	 lmhosts:  Lookup  an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file. If
		 the line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the  NetBIOS
		 name  (see  the  lmhosts(5)for	 details)  then	 any name type
		 matches for lookup.

	      ·	 host: Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using
		 the  system  /etc/hosts,  NIS, or DNS lookups. This method of
		 name resolution is operating system dependent,	 for  instance
		 on  IRIX  or  Solaris this may be controlled by the /etc/nss‐
		 witch.conf  file). Note that this method is only used if  the
		 NetBIOS  name	type  being  queried is the 0x20 (server) name
		 type, otherwise it is ignored.

	      ·	 wins: Query a name with the IP address	 listed	 in  the  wins
		 server	 parameter.  If no WINS server has been specified this
		 method will be ignored.

	      ·	 bcast: Do a broadcast on each of the known  local  interfaces
		 listed	 in  the interfaces parameter. This is the least reli‐
		 able of the name resolution methods as it depends on the tar‐
		 get host being on a locally connected subnet.

	      If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order defined
	      in the smb.conf file parameter () will be used.

	      The default order is lmhosts, host, wins,	 bcast.	 Without  this
	      parameter	 or  any entry in the  parameter of the smb.conf file,
	      the name resolution methods will be attempted in this order.

       -L libdir
	      This parameter specifies the location of	the  shared  libraries
	      used by smbsh. The default value is specified at compile time.

EXAMPLES
       To  use the smbsh command, execute  smbsh from the prompt and enter the
       username and password that authenticates you to the machine running the
       Windows NT operating system.

       system% smbsh
       Username: user
       Password: XXXXXXX

       Any  dynamically linked command you execute from this shell will access
       the /smb directory using the smb protocol. For example, the command  ls
       /smb   will show a list of workgroups. The commandls /smb/MYGROUP  will
       show all the machines in the workgroup MYGROUP. The commandls  /smb/MY‐
       GROUP/<machine-name>  will  show	 the share names for that machine. You
       could then, for example, use the	 cd command to change directories,  vi
       to edit files, and rcp to copy files.

VERSION
       This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.

BUGS
       smbsh works by intercepting the standard libc calls with the dynamical‐
       ly loaded versions in  smbwrapper.o. Not all calls have been "wrapped",
       so some programs may not function correctly under smbsh .

       Programs	 which	are  not dynamically linked cannot make use of smbsh's
       functionality. Most versions of UNIX have a file command that will  de‐
       scribe how a program was linked.

AUTHOR
       The  original  Samba software and related utilities were created by An‐
       drew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the  Samba  Team  as  an  Open
       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.

       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 ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) and up‐
       dated 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 Doc‐
       Book XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.
