12 the user will be prompted for the password.

20 information such as what printcap file to use, as well

27 logged to the log files about the activities of the

29 warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for
30 day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
31 information about operations carried out.</p><p>Levels above 1 will generate considerable
32 amounts of log data, and should only be used when
33 investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for
34 use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log
35 data, most of which is extremely cryptic.</p><p>Note that specifying this parameter here will

38 services and in what order to resolve
39 host names to IP addresses. The option takes a space-separated
40 string of different name resolution options.</p><p>The options are: "lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast".
41 They cause names to be resolved as follows :</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><code class="constant">lmhosts</code>:
42 Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file. If the
43 line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the

46 then any name type matches for lookup.
47 </p></li><li><p><code class="constant">host</code>:
48 Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using
49 the system <code class="filename">/etc/hosts</code>, NIS, or DNS
50 lookups. This method of name resolution is operating
51 system dependent, for instance on IRIX or Solaris this
52 may be controlled by the <code class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf
53 </code> file). Note that this method is only used
54 if the NetBIOS name type being queried is the 0x20
55 (server) name type, otherwise it is ignored.
56 </p></li><li><p><code class="constant">wins</code>:
57 Query a name with the IP address listed in the
58 <em class="parameter"><code>wins server</code></em> parameter. If no
59 WINS server has been specified this method will be
61 </p></li><li><p><code class="constant">bcast</code>:
62 Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces
63 listed in the <em class="parameter"><code>interfaces</code></em>
64 parameter. This is the least reliable of the name
65 resolution methods as it depends on the target host
66 being on a locally connected subnet.

76 smbsh</strong></span> from the prompt and enter the username and password
77 that authenticates you to the machine running the Windows NT
79 </p><pre class="programlisting">

82 <code class="prompt">Password: </code><strong class="userinput"><code>XXXXXXX</code></strong>
83 </pre><p>Any dynamically linked command you execute from
84 this shell will access the <code class="filename">/smb</code> directory
85 using the smb protocol. For example, the command <span><strong class="command">ls /smb
86 </strong></span> will show a list of workgroups. The command
87 <span><strong class="command">ls /smb/MYGROUP </strong></span> will show all the machines in
88 the workgroup MYGROUP. The command
89 <span><strong class="command">ls /smb/MYGROUP/<machine-name></strong></span> will show the share
90 names for that machine. You could then, for example, use the <span><strong class="command">
91 cd</strong></span> command to change directories, <span><strong class="command">vi</strong></span> to
92 edit files, and <span><strong class="command">rcp</strong></span> to copy files.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2451116"></a><h2>VERSION</h2><p>This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2451128"></a><h2>BUGS</h2><p><span><strong class="command">smbsh</strong></span> works by intercepting the standard
93 libc calls with the dynamically loaded versions in <code class="filename">
94 smbwrapper.o</code>. Not all calls have been "wrapped", so
95 some programs may not function correctly under <span><strong class="command">smbsh
96 </strong></span>.</p><p>Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make
97 use of <span><strong class="command">smbsh</strong></span>'s functionality. Most versions
98 of UNIX have a <span><strong class="command">file</strong></span> command that will
99 describe how a program was linked.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2451391"></a><h2>SEE ALSO</h2><p><a href="smbd.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smbd</span>(8)</span></a>, <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smb.conf</span>(5)</span></a></p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2451414"></a><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>The original Samba software and related utilities

108 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.</p></div></div></body></html>
