NAME
samba - A Windows SMB/CIFS fileserver for UNIX
SYNOPSIS
samba
DESCRIPTION
The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements the Server
Message Block (commonly abbreviated as SMB) protocol for UNIX systems. This proto-
col is sometimes also referred to as the Common Internet File System (CIFS). For a
more thorough description, see http://www.ubiqx.org/cifs/. Samba also implements
the NetBIOS protocol in nmbd.
smbd(8)
The smbd daemon provides the file and print services to SMB clients, such as
Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups or LanManager. The config-
uration file for this daemon is described in smb.conf(5)
nmbd(8)
The nmbd daemon provides NetBIOS nameservice and browsing support. The con-
figuration file for this daemon is described in smb.conf(5)
smbclient(1)
The smbclient program implements a simple ftp-like client. This is useful
for accessing SMB shares on other compatible servers (such as Windows NT),
and can also be used to allow a UNIX box to print to a printer attached to
any SMB server (such as a PC running Windows NT).
testparm(1)
The testparm utility is a simple syntax checker for Samba’s smb.conf(5) con-
figuration file.
testprns(1)
The testprns utility supports testing printer names defined in your printcap
file used by Samba.
smbstatus(1)
The smbstatus tool provides access to information about the current connec-
tions to smbd.
nmblookup(1)
The nmblookup tools allows NetBIOS name queries to be made from a UNIX host.
smbpasswd(8)
The smbpasswd command is a tool for changing LanMan and Windows NT password
hashes on Samba and Windows NT servers.
smbcacls(1)
The smbcacls command is a tool to set ACL’s on remote CIFS servers.
smbsh(1)
The smbsh command is a program that allows you to run a unix shell with with
an overloaded VFS.
smbtree(1)
The smbtree command is a text-based network neighborhood tool.
smbtar(1)
The smbtar can make backups of data on CIFS/SMB servers.
smbspool(8)
smbspool is a helper utility for printing on printers connected to CIFS
servers.
smbcontrol(1)
smbcontrol is a utility that can change the behaviour of running samba dae-
mons.
rpcclient(1)
rpcclient is a utility that can be used to execute RPC commands on remote
CIFS servers.
pdbedit(8)
The pdbedit command can be used to maintain the local user database on a
samba server.
findsmb(1)
The findsmb command can be used to find SMB servers on the local network.
net(8) The net command is supposed to work similar to the DOS/Windows NET.EXE com-
mand.
swat(8)
swat is a web-based interface to configuring smb.conf.
winbindd(8)
winbindd is a daemon that is used for integrating authentication and the us-
er database into unix.
wbinfo(1)
wbinfo is a utility that retrieves and stores information related to win-
bind.
profiles(1)
profiles is a command-line utility that can be used to replace all oc-
curences of a certain SID with another SID.
log2pcap(1)
log2pcap is a utility for generating pcap trace files from Samba log files.
vfstest(1)
vfstest is a utility that can be used to test vfs modules.
ntlm_auth(1)
ntlm_auth is a helper-utility for external programs wanting to do NTLM-au-
thentication.
smbmount(8), smbumount(8), smbmnt(8)
smbmount,smbumount and smbmnt are commands that can be used to mount
CIFS/SMB shares on Linux.
smbcquotas(1)
smbcquotas is a tool that can set remote QUOTA’s on server with NTFS 5.
COMPONENTS
The Samba suite is made up of several components. Each component is described in a
separate manual page. It is strongly recommended that you read the documentation
that comes with Samba and the manual pages of those components that you use. If the
manual pages and documents aren’t clear enough then please visithttp://devel.sam-
ba.org for information on how to file a bug report or submit a patch.
If you require help, visit the Samba webpage athttp://www.samba.org/ and explore
the many option available to you.
AVAILABILITY
The Samba software suite is licensed under the GNU Public License(GPL). A copy of
that license should have come with the package in the file COPYING. You are encour-
aged to distribute copies of the Samba suite, but please obey the terms of this li-
cense.
The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous ftp from sam-
ba.org in the directory pub/samba/. It is also available on several mirror sites
worldwide.
You may also find useful information about Samba on the newsgroup comp.protocol.smb
and the Samba mailing list. Details on how to join the mailing list are given in
the README file that comes with Samba.
If you have access to a WWW viewer (such as Mozilla or Konqueror) then you will al-
so find lots of useful information, including back issues of the Samba mailing
list, athttp://lists.samba.org.
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.
CONTRIBUTIONS
If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, then I suggest you join the Samba
mailing list athttp://lists.samba.org.
If you have patches to submit, visithttp://devel.samba.org/ for information on how
to do it properly. We prefer patches in diff -u format.
CONTRIBUTORS
Contributors to the project are now too numerous to mention here but all deserve
the thanks of all Samba users. To see a full list, look at thechange-log in the
source package for the pre-CVS changes and at http://cvs.samba.org/ for the con-
tributors to Samba post-CVS. CVS is the Open Source source code control system used
by the Samba Team to develop Samba. The project would have been unmanageable with-
out it.
AUTHOR
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.
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, avail-
able 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.
