	<para>This tool is part of the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>

	<para><command>rpcclient</command> is a utility initially developed
	to test MS-RPC functionality in Samba itself.  It has undergone 
	several stages of development and stability.  Many system administrators
	have now written scripts around it to manage Windows NT clients from 
	their UNIX workstation. </para>

		<para>Normally the client would attempt to locate a named

		connected to will be ignored. </para>

	<title>BUGS</title>
	
	<para><command>rpcclient</command> is designed as a developer testing tool 
	and may not be robust in certain areas (such as command line parsing).  
	It has been known to  generate a core dump upon failures when invalid 
	parameters where passed to the interpreter. </para>

	<para>From Luke Leighton's original rpcclient man page:</para>
	
	<para><emphasis>WARNING!</emphasis> The MSRPC over SMB code has 
	been developed from examining  Network traces. No documentation is 
	available from the original creators  (Microsoft) on how MSRPC over 
	SMB works, or how the individual MSRPC services  work. Microsoft's 
	implementation of these services has been demonstrated  (and reported) 
	to be... a bit flaky in places. </para>

	<para>The development of Samba's implementation is also a bit rough, 
	and as more of the services are understood, it can even result in 
	versions of <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>rpcclient</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> that are incompatible for some commands or  services. Additionally, 
	the developers are sending reports to Microsoft,  and problems found 
	or reported to Microsoft are fixed in Service Packs,  which may 
	result in incompatibilities.</para>

	<para>The original Samba software and related utilities 
	were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
	by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar 
	to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
	
	<para>The original rpcclient man page was written by Matthew 
	Geddes, Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton, and rewritten by Gerald Carter.  
	The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald 
	Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was
	done by Alexander Bokovoy.</para>
