Some servers are fussy about the case of this name, and some insist
that it must be a valid NetBIOS name.

-.B USER

-If no
-.I username
-is supplied and neither environment variable exists the user name will
-be empty.
-
-If the USER environment variable containts a '%' character, everything
-after that will be treated as a password. This allows you to set the
-environment variable to be
-.B USER=username%password
-so that a password is not passed on the command line (where it may
-be seen by the ps command).
-
-If the service you are connecting to requires a password, it can be supplied
-using the
-.B \-U
-option, by appending a percent symbol ("%") then the password to
-.I username.
-For example, to attach to a service as user "fred" with password "secret", you
-would specify

-on the command line. Note that there are no spaces around the percent symbol.
-
-If you specify the password as part of

-.B \-N

-
-If you specify the password as a parameter AND as part of
-.I username
-then the password as part of
-.I username
-will take precedence. Putting nothing before or nothing after the percent
-symbol will cause an empty username or an empty password to be used,
-respectively.
+If no username is supplied, it will default to an uppercase version of
+the environment variable tt(USER) or tt(LOGNAME) in that order. If no
+username is supplied and neither environment variable exists the
+username "GUEST" will be used.
+
+If the tt(USER) environment variable containts a '%' character,
+everything after that will be treated as a password. This allows you
+to set the environment variable to be tt(USER=username%password) so
+that a password is not passed on the command line (where it may be
+seen by the ps command).
+
+If the service you are connecting to requires a password, it can be
+supplied using the bf(-U) option, by appending a percent symbol ("%")
+then the password to username. For example, to attach to a service as
+user tt("fred") with password tt("secret"), you would specify. nl()
+
+tt(-U fred%secret) nl()
+
+on the command line. Note that there are no spaces around the percent
+symbol.
+
+If you specify the password as part of username then the bf(-N) option
+(suppress password prompt) is assumed.
+
+If you specify the password as a parameter em(AND) as part of username
+then the password as part of username will take precedence. Putting
+nothing before or nothing after the percent symbol will cause an empty
+username or an empty password to be used, respectively.
+
+The password may also be specified by setting up an environment
+variable called tt(PASSWORD) that contains the users password. Note
+that this may be very insecure on some systems but on others allows
+users to script smbclient commands without having a password appear in
+the command line of a process listing.
Note: Some servers (including OS/2 and Windows for Workgroups) insist
on an uppercase password. Lowercase or mixed case passwords may be
rejected by these servers.
-Be cautious about including passwords in scripts.

+Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or in the
+tt(PASSWORD) environment variable. Also, on many systems the command
+line of a running process may be seen via the tt(ps) command to be

+directly.
+
+dit(bf(-L)) This option allows you to look at what services are
+available on a server. You use it as tt("smbclient -L host") and a
+list should appear. The bf(-I) option may be useful if your NetBIOS
+names don't match your tcp/ip dns host names or if you are trying to
+reach a host on another network.
+
+dit(bf(-t terminal code)) This option tells smbclient how to interpret
+filenames coming from the remote server. Usually Asian language
+multibyte UNIX implementations use different character sets than
+SMB/CIFS servers (em(EUC) instead of em(SJIS) for example). Setting
+this parameter will let smbclient convert between the UNIX filenames
+and the SMB filenames correctly. This option has not been seriously
+tested and may have some problems.
+
+The terminal codes include tt(sjis), tt(euc), tt(jis7), tt(jis8),
+tt(junet), tt(hex), tt(cap). This is not a complete list, check the
+Samba source code for the complete list.
+
+dit(bf(-m max protocol level)) Normally, smbclient will negotiate with
+the server to use the most advanced version of the SMB/CIFS protocol
+that the server supports. Occasionaly it may be desirable to tell
+smbclient to negotiate a lower level of the protocol, hence this

-.SH VERSION
-This man page is (mostly) correct for version 1.9.00 of the Samba suite, plus some
-of the recent patches to it. These notes will necessarily lag behind

-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-[This section under construction]
-
-Most diagnostics issued by the client are logged in a specified log file. The
-log file name is specified at compile time, but may be overridden on the
-command line.
-
-The number and nature of diagnostics available depends on the debug level used
-by the client. If you have problems, set the debug level to 3 and peruse the
-log files.
-
-Most messages are reasonably self-explanatory. Unfortunately, at time of
-creation of this man page the source code is still too fluid to warrant
-describing each and every diagnostic. At this stage your best bet is still
-to grep the source code and inspect the conditions that gave rise to the
-diagnostics you are seeing.
-.SH BUGS
-None known.
-.SH CREDITS
-The original Samba software and related utilities were created by

+
+Most diagnostics issued by the client are logged in a specified log
+file. The log file name is specified at compile time, but may be
+overridden on the command line.
+
+The number and nature of diagnostics available depends on the debug
+level used by the client. If you have problems, set the debug level to
+3 and peruse the log files.

+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) and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy
+Allison.
