You must use a shell that is dynamically linked in order for \fBsmbsh\fR to work correctly\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .TP \-W WORKGROUP Override the default workgroup specified in the workgroup parameter of the \fBsmb\&.conf\fR(5) file for this session\&. This may be needed to connect to some servers\&. .TP \-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 username and the password\&. If %pass is not specified, the user will be prompted for the password\&. .TP \-P prefix This option allows the user to set the directory prefix for SMB access\&. The default value if this option is not specified is\fBsmb\fR\&. .TP \-s 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 \fIsmb\&.conf\fR for more information\&. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time\&. .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 parameter in the \fIsmb\&.conf\fR file\&. .TP \-R 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 options\&. The options are: "lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast"\&. They cause names to be resolved as follows : .RS .TP 3 \(bu \fBlmhosts\fR: 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 \fBlmhosts\fR(5)for details) then any name type matches for lookup\&. .TP \(bu \fBhost\fR: Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using the system \fI/etc/hosts\fR, 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 \fI/etc/nsswitch\&.conf \fR 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\&. .TP \(bu \fBwins\fR: Query a name with the IP address listed in the \fIwins server\fR parameter\&. If no WINS server has been specified this method will be ignored\&. .TP \(bu \fBbcast\fR: Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces listed in the \fIinterfaces\fR parameter\&. This is the least reliable of the name resolution methods as it depends on the target host being on a locally connected subnet\&. .LP .RE .IP If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order defined in the \fIsmb\&.conf\fR file parameter () will be used\&. The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast\&. Without this parameter or any entry in the parameter of the \fIsmb\&.conf\fR file, the name resolution methods will be attempted in this order\&. .TP \-L libdir This parameter specifies the location of the shared libraries used by \fBsmbsh\fR\&. The default value is specified at compile time\&. .SH "EXAMPLES" .PP To use the \fBsmbsh\fR command, execute \fB smbsh\fR from the prompt and enter the username and password that authenticates you to the machine running the Windows NT operating system\&. .nf system% \fBsmbsh\fR Username: \fBuser\fR Password: \fBXXXXXXX\fR .fi .PP Any dynamically linked command you execute from this shell will access the \fI/smb\fR directory using the smb protocol\&. For example, the command \fBls /smb \fR will show a list of workgroups\&. The command\fBls /smb/MYGROUP \fR will show all the machines in the workgroup MYGROUP\&. The command\fBls /smb/MYGROUP/\fR will show the share names for that machine\&. You could then, for example, use the \fB cd\fR command to change directories, \fBvi\fR to edit files, and \fBrcp\fR to copy files\&. .SH "VERSION" .PP This man page is correct for version 3\&.0 of the Samba suite\&. .SH "BUGS" .PP \fBsmbsh\fR works by intercepting the standard libc calls with the dynamically loaded versions in \fI smbwrapper\&.o\fR\&. Not all calls have been "wrapped", so some programs may not function correctly under \fBsmbsh \fR\&. .PP Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make use of \fBsmbsh\fR's functionality\&. Most versions of UNIX have a \fBfile\fR command that will describe how a program was linked\&. .SH "SEE ALSO" .PP \fBsmbd\fR(8), \fBsmb\&.conf\fR(5) .SH "AUTHOR" .PP 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\&. .PP 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 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\&.
