22 smbtree \- A text based smb network browser
27 \fBsmbtree\fR [\-b] [\-D] [\-S]
34 This tool is part of the \fBsamba\fR(7) suite\&.
37 \fBsmbtree\fR is a smb browser program in text mode\&. It is similar to the "Network Neighborhood" found on Windows computers\&. It prints a tree with all the known domains, the servers in those domains and the shares on the servers\&.
43 Query network nodes by sending requests as broadcasts instead of querying the local master browser\&.
47 Only print a list of all the domains known on broadcast or by the master browser
51 Only print a list of all the domains and servers responding on broadcast or known by the master browser\&.
55 Prints the program version number\&.
58 \-s <configuration file>
59 The file specified contains the configuration details required by the server\&. The information in this file includes server\-specific information such as what printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide\&. See \fIsmb\&.conf\fR for more information\&. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time\&.
62 \-d|\-\-debuglevel=level
63 \fIlevel\fR is an integer from 0 to 10\&. The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero\&.
65 The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about the activities of the server\&. 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\&.
67 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\&.
69 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the parameter in the \fIsmb\&.conf\fR file\&.
72 \-l|\-\-logfile=logdirectory
73 Base directory name for log/debug files\&. The extension \fB"\&.progname"\fR will be appended (e\&.g\&. log\&.smbclient, log\&.smbd, etc\&.\&.\&.)\&. The log file is never removed by the client\&.
77 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\&.
79 Unless a password is specified on the command line or this parameter is specified, the client will request a password\&.
83 Try to authenticate with kerberos\&. Only useful in an Active Directory environment\&.
86 \-A|\-\-authentication\-file=filename
87 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
98 Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted users\&.
101 \-U|\-\-user=username[%password]
102 Sets the SMB username or username and password\&.
104 If %password is not specified, the user will be prompted\&. The client will first check the \fBUSER\fR environment variable, then the \fBLOGNAME\fR variable and if either exists, the string is uppercased\&. If these environmental variables are not found, the username \fBGUEST\fR is used\&.
106 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 does not wish 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 \fI\-A\fR for more details\&.
108 Be cautious about including passwords in scripts\&. Also, on many systems the command line of a running process may be seen via the \fBps\fR command\&. To be safe always allow \fBrpcclient\fR to prompt for a password and type it in directly\&.
112 Print a summary of command line options\&.
117 This man page is correct for version 3\&.0 of the Samba suite\&.
122 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\&.
125 The smbtree man page was written by Jelmer Vernooij\&.
