.SH "DESCRIPTION"

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

.PP
\fBsmbtree\fR is a smb browser program in text mode\&. It is similar to the "Network Neighborhood" found on Windows computers\&. It prints a tree with all the known domains, the servers in those domains and the shares on the servers\&.

.SH "OPTIONS"

.TP
\-b
Query network nodes by sending requests as broadcasts instead of querying the local master browser\&.

.TP
\-D
Only print a list of all the domains known on broadcast or by the master browser

.TP
\-S
Only print a list of all the domains and servers responding on broadcast or known by the master browser\&.

.TP
\-V
Prints the program version number\&.

.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 \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
\-l|\-\-logfile=logdirectory
Base directory name for log/debug files\&. The extension \fB"\&.progname"\fR will be appended (e\&.g\&. log\&.smbclient, log\&.smbd, etc\&.\&.\&.)\&. The log file is never removed by the client\&.

.TP
\-N
If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal password prompt from the client to the user\&. This is useful when accessing a service that does not require a password\&.

Unless a password is specified on the command line or this parameter is specified, the client will request a password\&.

.TP
\-k
Try to authenticate with kerberos\&. Only useful in an Active Directory environment\&.

.TP
\-A|\-\-authentication\-file=filename
This option allows you to specify a file from which to read the username and password used in the connection\&. The format of the file is


.nf

username = <value>
password = <value>
domain   = <value>
.fi


Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted users\&.

.TP
\-U|\-\-user=username[%password]
Sets the SMB username or username and password\&.

If %password is not specified, the user will be prompted\&. The client will first check the \fBUSER\fR environment variable, then the \fBLOGNAME\fR variable and if either exists, the string is uppercased\&. If these environmental variables are not found, the username \fBGUEST\fR is used\&.

A third option is to use a credentials file which contains the plaintext of the username and password\&. This option is mainly provided for scripts where the admin does not wish to pass the credentials on the command line or via environment variables\&. If this method is used, make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted users\&. See the \fI\-A\fR for more details\&.

Be cautious about including passwords in scripts\&. Also, on many systems the command line of a running process may be seen via the \fBps\fR command\&. To be safe always allow \fBrpcclient\fR to prompt for a password and type it in directly\&.

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