NAME
smbtree - A text based smb network browser
SYNOPSIS
smbtree [-b] [-D] [-S]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
smbtree is a smb browser program in text mode. It is similar to the "Network Neigh-
borhood" found on Windows computers. It prints a tree with all the known domains,
the servers in those domains and the shares on the servers.
OPTIONS
-b Query network nodes by sending requests as broadcasts instead of querying
the local master browser.
-D Only print a list of all the domains known on broadcast or by the master
browser
-S Only print a list of all the domains and servers responding on broadcast or
known by the master browser.
-V Prints the program version number.
-s <configuration file>
The file specified contains the configuration details required by the serv-
er. 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 smb.conf for more information. The de-
fault configuration file name is determined at compile time.
-d|--debuglevel=level
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 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 run-
ning - 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
smb.conf file.
-l|--logfile=logdirectory
Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname" will be
appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log file is never re-
moved by the client.
-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.
-k Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in an Active Directory envi-
ronment.
-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
username = <value>
password = <value>
domain = <value>
Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted
users.
-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 USER environment variable, then the LOGNAME variable and if
either exists, the string is uppercased. If these environmental variables
are not found, the username GUEST 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 permis-
sions on the file restrict access from unwanted users. See the -A 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 ps command. To be safe
always allow rpcclient to prompt for a password and type it in directly.
-h|--help
Print a summary of command line options.
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.
