An asynchronous API has been added. +net Command Changes +=================== + +The net command now accepts the common command line parameters most other Samba +command line utilities use, with a couple of remaining differences: + +-l still gives long output for net commands supporting the --long flag. This was +more useful than the common --log-base parameter. + +-i still tells net to read data from stdin (like --stdin) instead of toggling +the common --scope flag. + +-S still tells net the server to connect to (like --server) instead of +negotiating the common --signing flag. As -S is probably used by most scripts +doing net rpc commands, this would have been a high-impact change for little +gain. + +This change was mainly done to unify the authentification options. Here, one +flag changed it's meaning and one useful flag was added. + +-N used to be the short version of --ntname. It now matches the Samba default of +--no-pass. Use this to stop net from prompting for a password if you want +anonymous authentication. + +-A --authentication-file now takes an authentication file with the username and +password you want net to use, avoiding a password prompt as with plain -U user +or having to give a password on the command line as in -U user%pass. + +Last but not least net now always falls back to your local unix username if no +-U is specified and a username is needed. net rpc commands will now prompt for a +password unless one is specified using either -U user%pass or -A auth_file + ###################################################################### Changes ####### |
