Note that you should add the Samba server as a "Windows -NT Workstation or Server", em(NOT) as a Primary or backup domain controller. - -Assume you have a Samba-2 server with a NetBIOS name of tt(SERV1) and are -joining an NT domain called tt(DOM), which has a PDC with a NetBIOS name -of tt(DOMPDC) and two backup domain controllers with NetBIOS names tt(DOMBDC1) -and tt(DOMBDC2). - -In order to join the domain, first stop all Samba daemons and run the -command - -tt(smbpasswd -j DOM -r DOMPDC) - -as we are joining the domain DOM and the PDC for that domain (the only -machine that has write access to the domain SAM database) is DOMPDC. If this is -successful you will see the message: - -tt(smbpasswd: Joined domain DOM.) - -in your terminal window. See the url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.8.html) -man page for more details. - -This command goes through the machine account password change -protocol, then writes the new (random) machine account password for -this Samba server into a file in the same directory in which an -smbpasswd file would be stored - normally : - -tt(/usr/local/samba/private) - -The filename looks like this: - -tt(<NT DOMAIN NAME>.<Samba Server Name>.mac) - -The tt(.mac) suffix stands for machine account password file. So in -our example above, the file would be called: - -tt(DOM.SERV1.mac) - -This file is created and owned by root and is not readable by any -other user. It is the key to the domain-level security for your -system, and should be treated as carefully as a shadow password file. - -Now, before restarting the Samba daemons you must edit your -url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html) file to tell Samba it should now -use domain security. - -Change (or add) your - -url(bf("security ="))(smb.conf.5.html#security) - -line in the url(bf([global]))(smb.conf.5.html#global) section of your -url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html) to read: - -tt(security = domain) - -Next change the - -url(bf("workgroup ="))(smb.conf.5.html#workgroup) - -line in the url(bf([global]))(smb.conf.5.html#global) section to read: - -tt(workgroup = DOM) - -as this is the name of the domain we are joining. - -You must also have the parameter url(bf("encrypt passwords"))(smb.conf.5.html#encryptpasswords) -set to tt("yes") in order for your users to authenticate to the -NT PDC. - -Finally, add (or modify) a: - -url(bf("password server ="))(smb.conf.5.html#passwordserver) - -line in the url(bf([global]))(smb.conf.5.html#global) section to read: - -tt(password server = DOMPDC DOMBDC1 DOMBDC2) - -These are the primary and backup domain controllers Samba will attempt -to contact in order to authenticate users. Samba will try to contact -each of these servers in order, so you may want to rearrange this list -in order to spread out the authentication load among domain -controllers. - -Alternatively, if you want smbd to automatically determine the -list of Domain controllers to use for authentication, you may set this line to be : - -tt(password server = *) - -This method, which is new in Samba 2.0.6 and above, allows Samba -to use exactly the same mechanism that NT does. This method either broadcasts or -uses a WINS database in order to find domain controllers to -authenticate against. - -Finally, restart your Samba daemons and get ready for clients to begin -using domain security! - - -center(Why is this better than security = server?) -center(------------------------------------------) - -Currently, domain security in Samba doesn't free you from having to -create local Unix users to represent the users attaching to your -server. This means that if domain user tt(DOM\fred) attaches to your -domain security Samba server, there needs to be a local Unix user fred -to represent that user in the Unix filesystem. This is very similar to -the older Samba security mode url(bf("security=server"))(smb.conf.5.html#securityequalserver), where Samba would pass -through the authentication request to a Windows NT server in the same -way as a Windows 95 or Windows 98 server would. - -The advantage to domain-level security is that the authentication in -domain-level security is passed down the authenticated RPC channel in -exactly the same way that an NT server would do it. This means Samba -servers now participate in domain trust relationships in exactly the -same way NT servers do (i.e., you can add Samba servers into a -resource domain and have the authentication passed on from a resource -domain PDC to an account domain PDC. - -In addition, with url(bf("security=server"))(smb.conf.5.html#securityequalserver) every Samba daemon on a -server has to keep a connection open to the authenticating server for -as long as that daemon lasts. This can drain the connection resources -on a Microsoft NT server and cause it to run out of available -connections. With url(bf("security =domain"))(smb.conf.5.html#securityequaldomain), however, the Samba -daemons connect to the PDC/BDC only for as long as is necessary to -authenticate the user, and then drop the connection, thus conserving -PDC connection resources. - -And finally, acting in the same manner as an NT server authenticating -to a PDC means that as part of the authentication reply, the Samba -server gets the user identification information such as the user SID, -the list of NT groups the user belongs to, etc. All this information -will allow Samba to be extended in the future into a mode the -developers currently call appliance mode. In this mode, no local Unix -users will be necessary, and Samba will generate Unix uids and gids -from the information passed back from the PDC when a user is -authenticated, making a Samba server truly plug and play in an NT -domain environment.

This brings up the normal file properties dialog -box, but with Samba 2.0.4 this will have a new tab along the top -marked tt(Security). Click on this tab and you will see three buttons, -em(Permissions), em(Auditing), and em(Ownership). The em(Auditing) -button will cause either an error message tt("A requested privilege is -not held by the client") to appear if the user is not the NT Administrator, -or a dialog which is intended to allow an Administrator to add -auditing requirements to a file if the user is logged on as the -NT Administrator.

The owner name will be of the form : - -tt("SERVER\user (Long name)") - -Where tt(SERVER) is the NetBIOS name of the Samba server, tt(user) -is the user name of the UNIX user who owns the file, and tt((Long name)) -is the discriptive string identifying the user (normally found in the -GECOS field of the UNIX password database).

The reason for this is that changing -the ownership of a file is a privilaged operation in UNIX, available -only to the em(root) user. As clicking on this button causes NT to -attempt to change the ownership of a file to the current user logged -into the NT client this will not work with Samba at this time. - -There is an NT chown command that will work with Samba and allow -a user with Administrator privillage connected to a Samba 2.0.4 -server as root to change the ownership of files on both a local NTFS -filesystem or remote mounted NTFS or Samba drive. This is available -as part of the bf(Seclib) NT security library written by Jeremy -Allison of the Samba Team, available from the main Samba ftp site. - -bf(Viewing file or directory permissions)nl() -bf(-------------------------------------) - -The third button is the tt("Permissions") button. Clicking on this -brings up a dialog box that shows both the permissions and the UNIX -owner of the file or directory. The owner is displayed in the form : - -tt("SERVER\user (Long name)") - -Where tt(SERVER) is the NetBIOS name of the Samba server, tt(user) -is the user name of the UNIX user who owns the file, and tt((Long name)) -is the discriptive string identifying the user (normally found in the -GECOS field of the UNIX password database). - -If the parameter url(bf("nt acl support"))(smb.conf.5.html#ntaclsupport) -is set to "false" then the file owner will be shown as the NT user -tt("Everyone") and the permissions will be shown as NT tt("Full Control"). - -The permissions field is displayed differently for files and directories, -so I'll describe the way file permissions are displayed first. - -bf(File Permissions)nl() -bf(----------------) - -The standard UNIX user/group/world triple and the correspinding -"read", "write", "execute" permissions triples are mapped by Samba -into a three element NT ACL with the 'r', 'w', and 'x' bits mapped -into the corresponding NT permissions. The UNIX world permissions are mapped -into the global NT group tt(Everyone), followed by the list of permissions -allowed for UNIX world. The UNIX owner and group permissions -are displayed as an NT tt(user) icon and an NT tt(local group) icon -respectively followed by the list of permissions allowed for the -UNIX user and group. - -As many UNIX permission sets don't map into common NT names such as -tt("read"), tt("change") or tt("full control") then usually the permissions -will be prefixed by the words tt("Special Access") in the NT display -list. - -But what happens if the file has no permissions allowed for a -particular UNIX user group or world component ? In order to -allow "no permissions" to be seen and modified then Samba overloads -the NT tt("Take Ownership") ACL attribute (which has no meaning in -UNIX) and reports a component with no permissions as having the NT -tt("O") bit set. This was chosen of course to make it look like a -zero, meaning zero permissions. More details on the decision behind -this will be given below. - -bf(Directory Permissions)nl() -bf(---------------------) - -Directories on an NT NTFS file system have two different sets of -permissions. The first set of permissions is the ACL set on the -directory itself, this is usually displayed in the first set of -parentheses in the normal tt("RW") NT style. This first set of -permissions is created by Samba in exactly the same way as normal -file permissions are, described above, and is displayed in the -same way. - -The second set of directory permissions has no real meaning in the -UNIX permissions world and represents the tt("inherited") permissions -that any file created within this directory would inherit. - -Samba synthesises these inherited permissions for NT by returning as -an NT ACL the UNIX permission mode that a new file created by Samba -on this share would receive. - -bf(Modifying file or directory permissions)nl() -bf(---------------------------------------) - -Modifying file and directory permissions is as simple as changing -the displayed permissions in the dialog box, and clicking the tt(OK) -button. However, there are limitations that a user needs to be aware -of, and also interactions with the standard Samba permission masks -and mapping of DOS attributes that need to also be taken into account. - -If the parameter url(bf("nt acl support"))(smb.conf.5.html#ntaclsupport) -is set to "false" then any attempt to set security permissions will -fail with an tt("Access Denied") message. - -The first thing to note is that the tt("Add") button will not return -a list of users in Samba 2.0.4 (it will give an error message of -tt("The remote proceedure call failed and did not execute")). This -means that you can only manipulate the current user/group/world -permissions listed in the dialog box. This actually works quite well -as these are the only permissions that UNIX actually has. - -If a permission triple (either user, group, or world) is removed from -the list of permissions in the NT dialog box, then when the tt("OK") -button is pressed it will be applied as "no permissions" on the UNIX -side. If you then view the permissions again the "no permissions" entry -will appear as the NT tt("O") flag, as described above. This allows you -to add permissions back to a file or directory once you have removed -them from a triple component. - -As UNIX supports only the "r", "w" and "x" bits of an NT ACL -then if other NT security attributes such as "Delete access" -are selected then they will be ignored when applied on the -Samba server. - -When setting permissions on a directory the second set of permissions -(in the second set of parentheses) is by default applied to all -files within that directory. If this is not what you want you -must uncheck the tt("Replace permissions on existing files") checkbox -in the NT dialog before clicking tt("OK"). - -If you wish to remove all permissions from a user/group/world -component then you may either highlight the component and click -the tt("Remove") button, or set the component to only have the special -tt("Take Ownership") permission (dsplayed as tt("O")) highlighted. - -bf(Interaction with the standard Samba create mask parameters)nl() -bf(----------------------------------------------------------) - -Note that with Samba 2.0.5 there are four new parameters to -control this interaction. - -These are : - -tt(security mask) -tt(force security mode) -tt(directory security mask) -tt(force directory security mode) - -Once a user clicks tt("OK") to apply the permissions Samba maps -the given permissions into a user/group/world r/w/x triple set, -and then will check the changed permissions for a file against -the bits set in the url(bf("security mask"))(smb.conf.5.html#securitymask) -parameter. Any bits that were changed that are not set to '1' -in this parameter are left alone in the file permissions. - -Essentially, zero bits in the url(bf("security mask"))(smb.conf.5.html#securitymask) -mask may be treated as a set of bits the user is em(not) allowed to change, -and one bits are those the user is allowed to change. - -If not set explicitly this parameter is set to the same value as the -url(bf("create mask"))(smb.conf.5.html#createmask) parameter to provide compatibility -with Samba 2.0.4 where this permission change facility was introduced. -To allow a user to modify all the user/group/world permissions on a file, -set this parameter to 0777. - -Next Samba checks the changed permissions for a file against the -bits set in the url(bf("force security mode"))(smb.conf.5.html#forcesecuritymode) -parameter. Any bits that were changed that correspond to bits set -to '1' in this parameter are forced to be set. - -Essentially, bits set in the url(bf("force security mode"))(smb.conf.5.html#forcesecuritymode) -parameter may be treated as a set of bits that, when modifying security on a file, the -user has always set to be 'on'. - -If not set explicitly this parameter is set to the same value as the -url(bf("force create mode"))(smb.conf.5.html#forcecreatemode) parameter to provide compatibility -with Samba 2.0.4 where the permission change facility was introduced. -To allow a user to modify all the user/group/world permissions on a file, -with no restrictions set this parameter to 000. - -The url(bf("security mask"))(smb.conf.5.html#securitymask) and -url(bf("force security mode"))(smb.conf.5.html#forcesecuritymode) parameters -are applied to the change request in that order. - -For a directory Samba will perform the same operations as described above -for a file except using the parameter url(bf("directory security mask"))(smb.conf.5.html#directorysecuritymask) -instead of url(bf("security mask"))(smb.conf.5.html#securitymask), and -url(bf("force directory security mode"))(smb.conf.5.html#forcedirectorysecuritymode) parameter instead -of url(bf("force security mode"))(smb.conf.5.html#forcesecuritymode). - -The url(bf("directory security mask"))(smb.conf.5.html#directorysecuritymask) -parameter by default is set to the same value as the url(bf("directory mask"))(smb.conf.5.html#directorymask) -parameter and the url(bf("force directory security mode"))(smb.conf.5.html#forcedirectorysecuritymode) -parameter by default is set to the same value as the -iurl(bf("force directory mode"))(smb.conf.5.html#forcedirectorymode) parameter -to provide compatibility with Samba 2.0.4 where the permission change facility was introduced. - -In this way Samba enforces the permission restrictions that an administrator -can set on a Samba share, whilst still allowing users to modify the -permission bits within that restriction. - -If you want to set up a share that allows users full control -in modifying the permission bits on their files and directories and -doesn't force any particular bits to be set 'on', then set the following -parameters in the url(bf(smb.conf.5))(smb.conf.5.html) file in -that share specific section : - -tt(security mask = 0777) -tt(force security mode = 0) -tt(directory security mask = 0777) -tt(force directory security mode = 0) - -As described, in Samba 2.0.4 the parameters : - -tt(create mask) -tt(force create mode) -tt(directory mask) -tt(force directory mode) - -were used instead of the parameters discussed here. - -bf(Interaction with the standard Samba file attribute mapping)nl() -bf(----------------------------------------------------------) - -Samba maps some of the DOS attribute bits (such as "read only") -into the UNIX permissions of a file. This means there can be a -conflict between the permission bits set via the security dialog -and the permission bits set by the file attribute mapping. - -One way this can show up is if a file has no UNIX read access -for the owner it will show up as "read only" in the standard -file attributes tabbed dialog. Unfortunately this dialog is -the same one that contains the security info in another tab. - -What this can mean is that if the owner changes the permissions -to allow themselves read access using the security dialog, clicks -tt("OK") to get back to the standard attributes tab dialog, and -then clicks tt("OK") on that dialog, then NT will set the file -permissions back to read-only (as that is what the attributes -still say in the dialog). This means that after setting permissions -and clicking tt("OK") to get back to the attributes dialog you -should always hit tt("Cancel") rather than tt("OK") to ensure -that your changes are not overridden. diff --git a/docs/yodldocs/findsmb.1.yo b/docs/yodldocs/findsmb.1.yo deleted file mode 100644 index 2eed8fd26c7..00000000000 --- a/docs/yodldocs/findsmb.1.yo +++ /dev/null @@ -1,100 +0,0 @@ -mailto(samba@samba.org) - -manpage(findsmb htmlcommand((1)))(1)(2 May 2000)(Samba)(SAMBA) - -label(NAME) -manpagename(findsmb)(list info about machines that respond to SMB name queries on a subnet) - -label(SYNOPSIS) -manpagesynopsis() - -bf(findsmb) [link(subnet broadcast address)(subnetbroadcastaddress)] - -label(DESCRIPTION) -manpagedescription() - -This perl script is part of the bf(Samba) suite. - -bf(findsmb) is a perl script that prints out several pieces -of information about machines on a subnet that respond to SMB -name query requests. -It uses url(bf(nmblookup))(nmblookup.1.html) and -url(bf(smbclient))(smbclient.1.html) to obtain this information. - -label(OPTIONS) -manpageoptions() - -startdit() - -label(subnetbroadcastaddress) -dit(bf(subnet broadcast address)) Without this option, bf(findsmb) -will probe the subnet of the machine where bf(findsmb) is run. -This value is passed to bf(nmblookup) as part of the bf(-B) -option - -enddit() - -label(EXAMPLES) -manpagesection(EXAMPLES) - -The output of bf(findsmb) lists the following information for all -machines that respond to the initial bf(nmblookup) for any name: -IP address, NetBIOS name, Workgroup name, operating system, and -SMB server version. - -There will be a "+" in front of the workgroup name for machines that are -local master browsers for that workgroup.

Once all users -have encrypted representations of their passwords in the smbpasswd -file this parameter should be set to tt("off"). - -In order for this parameter to work correctly the link(bf("encrypt -passwords"))(encryptpasswords) parameter must be set to tt("no") when -this parameter is set to tt("yes"). - -Note that even when this parameter is set a user authenticating to -smbd must still enter a valid password in order to connect correctly, -and to update their hashed (smbpasswd) passwords. - - bf(Default:) -tt( update encrypted = no) - - bf(Example:) -tt( update encrypted = yes) - -label(userhosts) -dit(bf(use rhosts (G))) - -If this global parameter is a true, it specifies that the UNIX users -tt(".rhosts") file in their home directory will be read to find the -names of hosts and users who will be allowed access without specifying -a password. - -NOTE: The use of bf(use rhosts) can be a major security hole. This is -because you are trusting the PC to supply the correct username. It is -very easy to get a PC to supply a false username.

This is the case for the COREPLUS protocol or where -your users have different WfWg usernames to UNIX usernames. In both -these cases you may also be better using the tt(\\server\share%user) -syntax instead. - -The bf(username=) line is not a great solution in many cases as it -means Samba will try to validate the supplied password against each of -the usernames in the username= line in turn. This is slow and a bad -idea for lots of users in case of duplicate passwords. You may get -timeouts or security breaches using this parameter unwisely. - -Samba relies on the underlying UNIX security. This parameter does not -restrict who can login, it just offers hints to the Samba server as to -what usernames might correspond to the supplied password. Users can -login as whoever they please and they will be able to do no more -damage than if they started a telnet session. The daemon runs as the -user that they log in as, so they cannot do anything that user cannot -do. - -To restrict a service to a particular set of users you can use the -link(bf("valid users="))(validusers) parameter. - -If any of the usernames begin with a tt('@') then the name will be -looked up first in the yp netgroups list (if Samba is compiled with -netgroup support), followed by a lookup in the UNIX groups database -and will expand to a list of all users in the group of that name. - -If any of the usernames begin with a tt('+') then the name will be -looked up only in the UNIX groups database and will expand to a list -of all users in the group of that name. - -If any of the usernames begin with a tt('&') then the name will be -looked up only in the yp netgroups database (if Samba is compiled with -netgroup support) and will expand to a list of all users in the -netgroup group of that name. - -Note that searching though a groups database can take quite some time, -and some clients may time out during the search. - -See the section link(bf("NOTE ABOUT USERNAME/PASSWORD -VALIDATION"))(NOTEABOUTUSERNAMEPASSWORDVALIDATION) for more -information on how this parameter determines access to the services. - - bf(Default:) -tt( The guest account if a guest service, else the name of the service.) - - bf(Examples:) -verb( - username = fred - username = fred, mary, jack, jane, @users, @pcgroup -) - -label(usernamelevel) -dit(bf(username level (G))) - -This option helps Samba to try and 'guess' at the real UNIX username, -as many DOS clients send an all-uppercase username. By default Samba -tries all lowercase, followed by the username with the first letter -capitalized, and fails if the username is not found on the UNIX -machine. - -If this parameter is set to non-zero the behavior changes. This -parameter is a number that specifies the number of uppercase -combinations to try whilst trying to determine the UNIX user name. The -higher the number the more combinations will be tried, but the slower -the discovery of usernames will be. Use this parameter when you have -strange usernames on your UNIX machine, such as tt("AstrangeUser"). - - bf(Default:) -tt( username level = 0) - - bf(Example:) -tt( username level = 5) - -label(usernamemap) -dit(bf(username map (G))) - -This option allows you to specify a file containing a mapping of -usernames from the clients to the server. This can be used for several -purposes. The most common is to map usernames that users use on DOS or -Windows machines to those that the UNIX box uses. The other is to map -multiple users to a single username so that they can more easily share -files. - -The map file is parsed line by line. Each line should contain a single -UNIX username on the left then a tt('=') followed by a list of -usernames on the right. The list of usernames on the right may contain -names of the form @group in which case they will match any UNIX -username in that group. The special client name tt('*') is a wildcard -and matches any name. Each line of the map file may be up to 1023 -characters long. - -The file is processed on each line by taking the supplied username and -comparing it with each username on the right hand side of the tt('=') -signs. If the supplied name matches any of the names on the right hand -side then it is replaced with the name on the left. Processing then -continues with the next line. - -If any line begins with a tt('#') or a tt(';') then it is ignored - -If any line begins with an tt('!') then the processing will stop after -that line if a mapping was done by the line. Otherwise mapping -continues with every line being processed. Using tt('!') is most -useful when you have a wildcard mapping line later in the file. - -For example to map from the name tt("admin") or tt("administrator") to -the UNIX name tt("root") you would use: - - -tt( root = admin administrator) - -Or to map anyone in the UNIX group tt("system") to the UNIX name -tt("sys") you would use: - -tt( sys = @system) - -You can have as many mappings as you like in a username map file. - -If your system supports the NIS NETGROUP option then the netgroup -database is checked before the tt(/etc/group) database for matching -groups. - -You can map Windows usernames that have spaces in them by using double -quotes around the name. For example: - -tt( tridge = "Andrew Tridgell") - -would map the windows username tt("Andrew Tridgell") to the unix -username tridge. - -The following example would map mary and fred to the unix user sys, -and map the rest to guest. Note the use of the tt('!') to tell Samba -to stop processing if it gets a match on that line. - -verb( - !sys = mary fred - guest = * -) - -Note that the remapping is applied to all occurrences of -usernames. Thus if you connect to tt("\\server\fred") and tt("fred") -is remapped to tt("mary") then you will actually be connecting to -tt("\\server\mary") and will need to supply a password suitable for -tt("mary") not tt("fred"). The only exception to this is the username -passed to the link(bf("password server"))(passwordserver) (if you have -one). The password server will receive whatever username the client -supplies without modification. - -Also note that no reverse mapping is done. The main effect this has is -with printing. Users who have been mapped may have trouble deleting -print jobs as PrintManager under WfWg will think they don't own the -print job. - - bf(Default:) -tt( no username map) - - bf(Example:) -tt( username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/users.map) - -label(utmp) -dit(bf(utmp (S))) - -This boolean parameter is only available if Samba has been configured and compiled -with the option tt(--with-utmp). If set to True then Samba will attempt -to add utmp or utmpx records (depending on the UNIX system) whenever a -connection is made to a Samba server.

This is particularly -useful for national character sets, such as adding u-umlaut or a-ring. - -The option takes a list of characters in either integer or character -form with spaces between them. If you give two characters with a colon -between them then it will be taken as an lowercase:uppercase pair. - -If you have an editor capable of entering the characters into the -config file then it is probably easiest to use this method. Otherwise -you can specify the characters in octal, decimal or hexadecimal form -using the usual C notation. - -For example to add the single character tt('Z') to the charset (which -is a pointless thing to do as it's already there) you could do one of -the following - -verb( - valid chars = Z - valid chars = z:Z - valid chars = 0132:0172 -) - -The last two examples above actually add two characters, and alter the -uppercase and lowercase mappings appropriately. - -Note that you MUST specify this parameter after the link(bf("client -code page"))(clientcodepage) parameter if you have both set. If -link(bf("client code page"))(clientcodepage) is set after the -bf("valid chars") parameter the bf("valid chars") settings will be -overwritten. - -See also the link(bf("client code page"))(clientcodepage) parameter. - - bf(Default:) -verb( - Samba defaults to using a reasonable set of valid characters - for English systems -) - - bf(Example) -tt( valid chars = 0345:0305 0366:0326 0344:0304) - -The above example allows filenames to have the Swedish characters in -them. - -NOTE: It is actually quite difficult to correctly produce a bf("valid -chars") line for a particular system.

It -offers an interface similar to that of the ftp program (see bf(ftp -(1))). Operations include things like getting files from the server -to the local machine, putting files from the local machine to the -server, retrieving directory information from the server and so on. - -label(OPTIONS) -manpageoptions() - -startdit() - -label(servicename) -dit(bf(servicename)) servicename is the name of the service you want -to use on the server. A service name takes the form -tt(//server/service) where em(server) is the NetBIOS name of the SMB/CIFS -server offering the desired service and em(service) is the name -of the service offered. Thus to connect to the service em(printer) on -the SMB/CIFS server em(smbserver), you would use the servicename - -tt(//smbserver/printer) - -Note that the server name required is NOT necessarily the IP (DNS) -host name of the server ! The name required is a NetBIOS server name, -which may or may not be the same as the IP hostname of the machine -running the server. - -The server name is looked up according to either the -link(bf(-R))(minusR) parameter to bf(smbclient) or using the -url(bf(name resolve order))(smb.conf.5.html#nameresolveorder) -parameter in the smb.conf file, allowing an administrator to change -the order and methods by which server names are looked up. - -label(password) -dit(bf(password)) password is the password required to access the -specified service on the specified server. If this parameter is -supplied, the link(bf(-N))(minusN) option (suppress password prompt) is assumed. - -There is no default password. If no password is supplied on the -command line (either by using this parameter or adding a password to -the link(bf(-U))(minusU) option (see below)) and the link(bf(-N))(minusN) option is not specified, -the client will prompt for a password, even if the desired service -does not require one. (If no password is required, simply press ENTER -to provide a null password.) - -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. - -label(minuss) -dit(bf(-s smb.conf)) This parameter specifies the pathname to the -Samba configuration file, smb.conf. This file controls all aspects of -the Samba setup on the machine and smbclient also needs to read this -file. - -label(minusO) -dit(bf(-O socket options)) TCP socket options to set on the client -socket. See the url(socket options)(smb.conf.5.html#socketoptions) -parameter in the url(bf(smb.conf (5)))(smb.conf.5.html) manpage for -the list of valid options. - -label(minusR) -dit(bf(-R name resolve order)) This option allows the user of -smbclient to determine what name resolution services to use when -looking up the NetBIOS name of the host being connected to. - -The options are :"lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast". They cause -names to be resolved as follows : - -startit() - -it() bf(lmhosts) : Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file. -The lmhosts file is stored in the same directory as the -url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html) file. - -it() bf(host) : Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, -using the system /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS lookups. This method of name -resolution is operating system depended for instance on IRIX or -Solaris this may be controlled by the em(/etc/nsswitch.conf) file). - -it() bf(wins) : Query a name with the IP address listed in the url(bf(wins -server))(smb.conf.5.html#winsserver) parameter in the smb.conf file. If -no WINS server has been specified this method will be ignored. - -it() bf(bcast) : Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces -listed in the url(bf(interfaces))(smb.conf.5.html#interfaces) parameter -in the smb.conf file. This is the least reliable of the name resolution -methods as it depends on the target host being on a locally connected -subnet. - -endit() - -If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order defined -in the url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html) file parameter -url((bf(name resolve order)))(smb.conf.5.html#nameresolveorder) -will be used. - -The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast and without this -parameter or any entry in the url(bf("name resolve -order"))(smb.conf.5.html#nameresolveorder) parameter of the -url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html) file the name resolution methods -will be attempted in this order. - -label(minusM) -dit(bf(-M NetBIOS name)) This options allows you to send messages, -using the "WinPopup" protocol, to another computer. Once a connection -is established you then type your message, pressing ^D (control-D) to -end. - -If the receiving computer is running WinPopup the user will receive -the message and probably a beep. If they are not running WinPopup the -message will be lost, and no error message will occur. - -The message is also automatically truncated if the message is over -1600 bytes, as this is the limit of the protocol. - -One useful trick is to cat the message through bf(smbclient). -For example: - -tt(cat mymessage.txt | smbclient -M FRED) - -will send the message in the file em(mymessage.txt) to the machine FRED. - -You may also find the link(bf(-U))(minusU) and link(bf(-I))(minusI) options useful, as they allow -you to control the FROM and TO parts of the message. - -See the url(bf(message command))(smb.conf.5.html#messagecommand) -parameter in the bf(smb.conf (5)) for a description of how to handle -incoming WinPopup messages in Samba. - -Note: Copy WinPopup into the startup group on your WfWg PCs if you -want them to always be able to receive messages. - -label(minusi) -dit(bf(-i scope)) This specifies a NetBIOS scope that smbclient will use -to communicate with when generating NetBIOS names. For details on the -use of NetBIOS scopes, see rfc1001.txt and rfc1002.txt. NetBIOS scopes -are em(very) rarely used, only set this parameter if you are the -system administrator in charge of all the NetBIOS systems you -communicate with. - -label(minusN) -dit(bf(-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. - -label(minusn) -dit(bf(-n NetBIOS name)) By default, the client will use the local -machine's hostname (in uppercase) as its NetBIOS name. This parameter -allows you to override the host name and use whatever NetBIOS name you -wish. - -label(minusd) -dit(bf(-d debuglevel)) debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10, or the -letter 'A'. - -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 client. 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. If debuglevel is set to the -letter 'A', then em(all) debug messages will be printed. This setting -is for developers only (and people who em(really) want to know how the -code works internally). - -Note that specifying this parameter here will override the url(bf(log -level))(smb.conf.5.html#loglevel) parameter in the url(bf(smb.conf -(5)))(smb.conf.5.html) file. - -label(minusP) -dit(bf(-P)) This option is no longer used. The code in Samba2.0 -now lets the server decide the device type, so no printer specific -flag is needed. - -label(minusp) -dit(bf(-p port)) This number is the TCP port number that will be used -when making connections to the server. The standard (well-known) TCP -port number for an SMB/CIFS server is 139, which is the default. - -label(minusl) -dit(bf(-l logfilename)) If specified, logfilename specifies a base -filename into which operational data from the running client will be -logged. - -The default base name is specified at compile time. - -The base name is used to generate actual log file names. For example, -if the name specified was "log", the debug file would be -tt(log.client). - -The log file generated is never removed by the client. - -label(minush) -dit(bf(-h)) Print the usage message for the client. - -label(minusI) -dit(bf(-I IP address)) IP address is the address of the server to -connect to. It should be specified in standard "a.b.c.d" notation. - -Normally the client would attempt to locate a named SMB/CIFS server by -looking it up via the NetBIOS name resolution mechanism described -above in the link(bf(name resolve order))(minusR) parameter -above. Using this parameter will force the client to assume that the -server is on the machine with the specified IP address and the NetBIOS -name component of the resource being connected to will be ignored. - -There is no default for this parameter. If not supplied, it will be -determined automatically by the client as described above. - -label(minusE) -dit(bf(-E)) This parameter causes the client to write messages to the -standard error stream (stderr) rather than to the standard output -stream. - -By default, the client writes messages to standard output - typically -the user's tty. - -label(minusU) -dit(bf(-U username)) This specifies the user name that will be used by -the client to make a connection, assuming your server is not a downlevel -server that is running a protocol level that uses passwords on shares, -not on usernames. - -Some servers are fussy about the case of this name, and some insist -that it must be a valid NetBIOS name. - -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 contains 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). - -You can specify a domain name as part of the username by using a -username of the form "DOMAIN/user" or "DOMAIN\user". - -If the service you are connecting to requires a password, it can be -supplied using the link(bf(-U))(minusU) 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 link(bf(-N))(minusN) 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(PASSWD) 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. - -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 doesn't desire 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 bf(-A) for more details. - -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 or in the -tt(PASSWD) environment variable. Also, on many systems the command -line of a running process may be seen via the tt(ps) command to be -safe always allow smbclient to prompt for a password and type it in -directly. - -label(minusA) -dit(bf(-A <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 - -tt(username = <value>) nl() -tt(password = <value>) nl() - -Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from -unwanted users. - -label(minusL) -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 link(bf(-I))(minusI) 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. - -label(minust) -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. - -label(minusm) -dit(bf(-m max protocol level)) With the new code in Samba2.0, -bf(smbclient) always attempts to connect at the maximum -protocols level the server supports. This parameter is -preserved for backwards compatibility, but any string -following the bf(-m) will be ignored. - -label(minusb) -dit(bf(-b buffersize)) This option changes the transmit/send buffer -size when getting or putting a file from/to the server. The default -is 65520 bytes. Setting this value smaller (to 1200 bytes) has been -observed to speed up file transfers to and from a Win9x server. - -label(minusW) -dit(bf(-W WORKGROUP)) Override the default workgroup specified in the -url(bf(workgroup))(smb.conf.5.html#workgroup) parameter of the -url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html) file for this connection. This may -be needed to connect to some servers. - -label(minusT) dit(bf(-T tar options)) smbclient may be used to create -bf(tar (1)) compatible backups of all the files on an SMB/CIFS -share. The secondary tar flags that can be given to this option are : - - startdit() - - dit(bf(c)) Create a tar file on UNIX. Must be followed by the - name of a tar file, tape device or tt("-") for standard output. If - using standard output you must turn the log level to its lowest value - tt(-d0) to avoid corrupting your tar file. This flag is - mutually exclusive with the bf(x) flag. - - dit(bf(x)) Extract (restore) a local tar file back to a - share. Unless the link(bf(-D))(minusD) option is given, the tar files will be - restored from the top level of the share. Must be followed by the name - of the tar file, device or tt("-") for standard input. Mutually exclusive - with the bf(c) flag. Restored files have their creation times (mtime) - set to the date saved in the tar file. Directories currently do not - get their creation dates restored properly. - - dit(bf(I)) Include files and directories. Is the default - behavior when filenames are specified above. Causes tar files to - be included in an extract or create (and therefore everything else to - be excluded). See example below. Filename globbing works - in one of two ways. See bf(r) below. - - dit(bf(X)) Exclude files and directories. Causes tar files to - be excluded from an extract or create. See example below. Filename - globbing works in one of two ways now. See bf(r) below. - - dit(bf(b)) Blocksize. Must be followed by a valid (greater than - zero) blocksize. Causes tar file to be written out in - blocksize*TBLOCK (usually 512 byte) blocks. - - dit(bf(g)) Incremental. Only back up files that have the - archive bit set. Useful only with the bf(c) flag. - - dit(bf(q)) Quiet. Keeps tar from printing diagnostics as it - works. This is the same as tarmode quiet. - - dit(bf(r)) Regular expression include or exclude. Uses regular - regular expression matching for excluding or excluding files if - compiled with HAVE_REGEX_H. However this mode can be very slow. If - not compiled with HAVE_REGEX_H, does a limited wildcard match on * and - ?. - - dit(bf(N)) Newer than. Must be followed by the name of a file - whose date is compared against files found on the share during a - create. Only files newer than the file specified are backed up to the - tar file. Useful only with the bf(c) flag. - - dit(bf(a)) Set archive bit. Causes the archive bit to be reset - when a file is backed up. Useful with the bf(g) and bf(c) flags. - - enddit() - -em(Tar Long File Names) - -smbclient's tar option now supports long file names both on backup and -restore. However, the full path name of the file must be less than -1024 bytes. Also, when a tar archive is created, smbclient's tar -option places all files in the archive with relative names, not -absolute names. - -em(Tar Filenames) - -All file names can be given as DOS path names (with tt(\) as the -component separator) or as UNIX path names (with tt(/) as the -component separator). - -em(Examples) - -startit() - -it() Restore from tar file backup.tar into myshare on mypc (no password on share). - - tt(smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -Tx backup.tar) - -it() Restore everything except users/docs - - tt(smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -TXx backup.tar users/docs) - -it() Create a tar file of the files beneath users/docs. - - tt(smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -Tc backup.tar users/docs) - -it() Create the same tar file as above, but now use a DOS path name. - - tt(smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -tc backup.tar users\edocs) - -it() Create a tar file of all the files and directories in the share. - - tt(smbclient //mypc/myshare "" -N -Tc backup.tar *) - -endit() - -label(minusD) -dit(bf(-D initial directory)) Change to initial directory before -starting. Probably only of any use with the tar link(bf(-T))(minusT) option. - -label(minusc) -dit(bf(-c command string)) command string is a semicolon separated -list of commands to be executed instead of prompting from stdin. -link(bf(-N))(minusN) is implied by bf(-c). - -This is particularly useful in scripts and for printing stdin to the -server, e.g. tt(-c 'print -'). - -enddit() - -label(OPERATIONS) -manpagesection(OPERATIONS) - -Once the client is running, the user is presented with a prompt : - -tt(smb:\>) - -The backslash ("\") indicates the current working directory on the -server, and will change if the current working directory is changed. - -The prompt indicates that the client is ready and waiting to carry out -a user command. Each command is a single word, optionally followed by -parameters specific to that command. Command and parameters are -space-delimited unless these notes specifically state otherwise. All -commands are case-insensitive. Parameters to commands may or may not -be case sensitive, depending on the command. - -You can specify file names which have spaces in them by quoting the -name with double quotes, for example "a long file name". - -Parameters shown in square brackets (e.g., "[parameter]") are -optional. If not given, the command will use suitable -defaults. Parameters shown in angle brackets (e.g., "<parameter>") are -required. - -Note that all commands operating on the server are actually performed -by issuing a request to the server. Thus the behavior may vary from -server to server, depending on how the server was implemented. - -The commands available are given here in alphabetical order. - -startdit() - -label(questionmark) dit(bf(? [command])) If "command" is specified, -the bf(?) command will display a brief informative message about the -specified command. If no command is specified, a list of available -commands will be displayed. - -label(exclaimationmark) dit(bf(! [shell command])) If "shell command" -is specified, the bf(!) command will execute a shell locally and run -the specified shell command. If no command is specified, a local shell -will be run. - -label(cd) dit(bf(cd [directory name])) If "directory name" is -specified, the current working directory on the server will be changed -to the directory specified. This operation will fail if for any reason -the specified directory is inaccessible. - -If no directory name is specified, the current working directory on -the server will be reported. - -label(del) dit(bf(del <mask>)) The client will request that the server -attempt to delete all files matching "mask" from the current working -directory on the server. - -label(dir) dit(bf(dir <mask>)) A list of the files matching "mask" in -the current working directory on the server will be retrieved from the -server and displayed. - -label(exit) dit(bf(exit)) Terminate the connection with the server and -exit from the program. - -label(get) dit(bf(get <remote file name> [local file name])) Copy the -file called "remote file name" from the server to the machine running -the client. If specified, name the local copy "local file name". Note -that all transfers in smbclient are binary. See also the -link(bf(lowercase))(lowercase) command. - -label(help) dit(bf(help [command])) See the link(bf(?))(questionmark) -command above. - -label(lcd) dit(bf(lcd [directory name])) If "directory name" is -specified, the current working directory on the local machine will -be changed to the directory specified. This operation will fail if for -any reason the specified directory is inaccessible. - -If no directory name is specified, the name of the current working -directory on the local machine will be reported. - -label(lowercase) dit(bf(lowercase)) Toggle lowercasing of filenames -for the link(bf(get))(get) and link(bf(mget))(mget) commands. - -When lowercasing is toggled ON, local filenames are converted to -lowercase when using the link(bf(get))(get) and link(bf(mget))(mget) -commands. This is often useful when copying (say) MSDOS files from a -server, because lowercase filenames are the norm on UNIX systems. - -label(ls) dit(bf(ls <mask>)) See the link(bf(dir))(dir) command above. - -label(mask) dit(bf(mask <mask>)) This command allows the user to set -up a mask which will be used during recursive operation of the -link(bf(mget))(mget) and link(bf(mput))(mput) commands. - -The masks specified to the link(bf(mget))(mget) and -link(bf(mput))(mput) commands act as filters for directories rather -than files when recursion is toggled ON. - -The mask specified with the .B mask command is necessary to filter -files within those directories. For example, if the mask specified in -an link(bf(mget))(mget) command is "source*" and the mask specified -with the mask command is "*.c" and recursion is toggled ON, the -link(bf(mget))(mget) command will retrieve all files matching "*.c" in -all directories below and including all directories matching "source*" -in the current working directory. - -Note that the value for mask defaults to blank (equivalent to "*") and -remains so until the mask command is used to change it. It retains the -most recently specified value indefinitely. To avoid unexpected -results it would be wise to change the value of .I mask back to "*" -after using the link(bf(mget))(mget) or link(bf(mput))(mput) commands. - -label(md) dit(bf(md <directory name>)) See the link(bf(mkdir))(mkdir) -command. - -label(mget) dit(bf(mget <mask>)) Copy all files matching mask from the -server to the machine running the client. - -Note that mask is interpreted differently during recursive operation -and non-recursive operation - refer to the link(bf(recurse))(recurse) -and link(bf(mask))(mask) commands for more information. Note that all -transfers in .B smbclient are binary. See also the -link(bf(lowercase))(lowercase) command. - -label(mkdir) dit(bf(mkdir <directory name>)) Create a new directory on -the server (user access privileges permitting) with the specified -name. - -label(mput) dit(bf(mput <mask>)) Copy all files matching mask in -the current working directory on the local machine to the current -working directory on the server. - -Note that mask is interpreted differently during recursive operation -and non-recursive operation - refer to the link(bf(recurse))(recurse) -and link(bf(mask))(mask) commands for more information. Note that all -transfers in .B smbclient are binary. - -label(print) dit(bf(print <file name>)) Print the specified file -from the local machine through a printable service on the server. - -See also the link(bf(printmode))(printmode) command. - -label(printmode) dit(bf(printmode <graphics or text>)) Set the print -mode to suit either binary data (such as graphical information) or -text. Subsequent print commands will use the currently set print -mode. - -label(prompt) dit(bf(prompt)) Toggle prompting for filenames during -operation of the link(bf(mget))(mget) and link(bf(mput))(mput) -commands. - -When toggled ON, the user will be prompted to confirm the transfer of -each file during these commands. When toggled OFF, all specified files -will be transferred without prompting. - -label(put) dit(bf(put <local file name> [remote file name])) Copy the -file called "local file name" from the machine running the client to -the server. If specified, name the remote copy "remote file name". -Note that all transfers in smbclient are binary.

The -smbpasswd file contains the following information for each user: - -startit() - -label(name) -dit(bf(name)) nl() nl() - - This is the user name. It must be a name that already exists - in the standard UNIX passwd file. - -label(uid) -dit(bf(uid)) nl() nl() - - This is the UNIX uid. It must match the uid field for the same - user entry in the standard UNIX passwd file. If this does not - match then Samba will refuse to recognize this bf(smbpasswd) file entry - as being valid for a user. - -label(LanmanPasswordHash) -dit(bf(Lanman Password Hash)) nl() nl() - - This is the em(LANMAN) hash of the users password, encoded as 32 hex - digits. The em(LANMAN) hash is created by DES encrypting a well known - string with the users password as the DES key. This is the same - password used by Windows 95/98 machines. Note that this password hash - is regarded as weak as it is vulnerable to dictionary attacks and if - two users choose the same password this entry will be identical (i.e. - the password is not em("salted") as the UNIX password is). If the - user has a null password this field will contain the characters - tt("NO PASSWORD") as the start of the hex string. If the hex string - is equal to 32 tt('X') characters then the users account is marked as - em(disabled) and the user will not be able to log onto the Samba - server. - - em(WARNING !!). Note that, due to the challenge-response nature of the - SMB/CIFS authentication protocol, anyone with a knowledge of this - password hash will be able to impersonate the user on the network. - For this reason these hashes are known as em("plain text equivalent") - and must em(NOT) be made available to anyone but the root user. To - protect these passwords the bf(smbpasswd) file is placed in a - directory with read and traverse access only to the root user and the - bf(smbpasswd) file itself must be set to be read/write only by root, - with no other access. - -label(NTPasswordHash) -dit(bf(NT Password Hash)) nl() nl() - - This is the em(Windows NT) hash of the users password, encoded as 32 - hex digits. The em(Windows NT) hash is created by taking the users - password as represented in 16-bit, little-endian UNICODE and then - applying the em(MD4) (internet rfc1321) hashing algorithm to it. - - This password hash is considered more secure than the link(bf(Lanman - Password Hash))(LanmanPasswordHash) as it preserves the case of the - password and uses a much higher quality hashing algorithm. However, it - is still the case that if two users choose the same password this - entry will be identical (i.e. the password is not em("salted") as the - UNIX password is). - - em(WARNING !!). Note that, due to the challenge-response nature of the - SMB/CIFS authentication protocol, anyone with a knowledge of this - password hash will be able to impersonate the user on the network. - For this reason these hashes are known as em("plain text equivalent") - and must em(NOT) be made available to anyone but the root user. To - protect these passwords the bf(smbpasswd) file is placed in a - directory with read and traverse access only to the root user and the - bf(smbpasswd) file itself must be set to be read/write only by root, - with no other access. - -label(AccountFlags) -dit(bf(Account Flags)) nl() nl() - - This section contains flags that describe the attributes of the users - account. In the bf(Samba2.0) release this field is bracketed by tt('[') - and tt(']') characters and is always 13 characters in length (including - the tt('[') and tt(']') characters). The contents of this field may be - any of the characters. - - startit() - - label(capU) - it() bf('U') This means this is a em("User") account, i.e. an ordinary - user. Only bf(User) and link(bf(Workstation Trust))(capW) accounts are - currently supported in the bf(smbpasswd) file. - - label(capN) - it() bf('N') This means the account has em(no) password (the passwords - in the fields link(bf(Lanman Password Hash))(LanmanPasswordHash) and - link(bf(NT Password Hash))(NTPasswordHash) are ignored). Note that this - will only allow users to log on with no password if the - url(bf(null passwords))(smb.conf.5.html#nullpasswords) parameter is set - in the url(bf(smb.conf (5)))(smb.conf.5.html) config file. - - label(capD) - it() bf('D') This means the account is disabled and no SMB/CIFS logins - will be allowed for this user. - - label(capW) - it() bf('W') This means this account is a em("Workstation Trust") account. - This kind of account is used in the Samba PDC code stream to allow Windows - NT Workstations and Servers to join a Domain hosted by a Samba PDC. - - endit() - - Other flags may be added as the code is extended in future. The rest of - this field space is filled in with spaces. - -label(LastChangeTime) -dit(bf(Last Change Time)) nl() nl() - - This field consists of the time the account was last modified. It consists of - the characters tt(LCT-) (standing for em("Last Change Time")) followed by a numeric - encoding of the UNIX time in seconds since the epoch (1970) that the last change - was made. - -dit(bf(Following fields)) nl() nl() - - All other colon separated fields are ignored at this time. - -enddit() - -label(NOTES) -manpagesection(NOTES) - -In previous versions of Samba (notably the 1.9.18 series) this file -did not contain the link(bf(Account Flags))(AccountFlags) or -link(bf(Last Change Time))(LastChangeTime) fields.
