gentest 1 Samba Test Suite 4.0 gentest Run random generic SMB operations against two SMB servers and show the differences in behavior gentest //server1/share1 //server2/share2 -U user%pass -U user%pass -s seed -o numops -a -A -i FILE -O -S FILE -L -F -C -X gentest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour between SMB servers. It will run a random set of generic operations against //server1/share1 and then the same random set against //server2/share2 and display the differences in the responses it gets. This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour between Samba and Windows servers. -U user%pass Specify the user and password to use when logging on on the shares. This parameter is mandatory and has to be specified twice. -s seed Seed the random number generator with the specified value. -o numops Set the number of operations to perform. -a Print the operations that are performed. -A Backtrack to find minimal number of operations required to make the response to a certain call differ. -i FILE Specify a file containing the names of fields that have to be ignored (such as time fields). See below for a description of the file format. -O Enable oplocks. -S FILE Set preset seeds file. The default is gentest_seeds.dat. -L Use preset seeds -F Fast reconnect (just close files) -C Continuous analysis mode -X Analyse even when the test succeeded.
