You must use a shell that is dynamically linked in order for \fBsmbsh\fR to work correctly. .SH "OPTIONS" .TP \fB-W WORKGROUP\fR Override the default workgroup specified in the workgroup parameter of the \fIsmb.conf\fR file for this session. This may be needed to connect to some servers. .TP \fB-U username[%pass]\fR 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 \fB-P prefix\fR 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 \fB-R <name resolve order>\fR 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 0.2i \(bu 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. .TP 0.2i \(bu host : 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 \fRfile). 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 0.2i \(bu wins : 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 0.2i \(bu bcast : 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. .RE .PP If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order defined in the \fIsmb.conf\fR file parameter (name resolve order) will be used. .PP .PP The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast. Without this parameter or any entry in the \fIname resolve order \fRparameter of the \fIsmb.conf\fR file, the name resolution methods will be attempted in this order. .PP .TP \fB-d <debug level>\fR debug level 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 about the activities of \fBnmblookup\fR. At level 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged. .TP \fB-l logfilename\fR If specified causes all debug messages to be written to the file specified by \fIlogfilename \fR\&. If not specified then all messages will be written to\fIstderr\fR. .TP \fB-L libdir\fR 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. .PP .sp .nf system% \fBsmbsh\fR Username: \fBuser\fR Password: \fBXXXXXXX\fR .sp .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 \fRwill 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/<machine-name>\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 2.2 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(8)\fR, smb.conf(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/ <URL: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
