findsmb
<subnet_broadcast_address>
The findsmb program is a Perl script which reports
information about SMB-aware systems on a specific subnet. If no subnet
is specified the local subnet is used. Items displayed include IP
address, NetBIOS name, workgroup or domain name, operating system, and
version.
The following example shows the output of executing
findsmb as any valid user on a system:
findsmb

make_smbcodepage <c|d>
<codepage_number> <inputfile>
<outputfile>
The make_smbcodepage program compiles a binary
codepage file from a text-format definition. The reverse is also
allowed by decompiling a binary codepage file to a text-format
definition. This obsolete program is part of the internationalization
features of previous versions of Samba which are included by default
with the current version of Samba.
make_unicodemap <codepage_number>
<inputfile> <outputfile>
The make_unicodemap program compiles binary
Unicode files from text files so Samba can display non-ASCII
charactersets. This obsolete program was part of the
internationalization features of previous versions of Samba which are
now included with the current release of Samba.
net <protocol> <function>
<misc_options> <target_options>
The net utility is similar to the
net utility used for Windows and MS-DOS. The first
argument is used to specify the protocol to use when executing a
command. The
<protocol> option
can be ads, rap, or
rpc for specifying the type of server
connection. Active Directory uses ads, Win9x/NT3
uses rap, and Windows NT4/2000/2003 uses
rpc. If the protocol is omitted,
net automatically tries to determine it.
The following example displays a list the available shares for a host
named wakko:
net -l share -S wakko
Password:
Enumerating shared resources (exports) on remote server:

nmblookup <options>
<netbios_name>
The nmblookup program resolves NetBIOS
names into IP addresses. The program broadcasts its query on the local
subnet until the target machine replies.
Here is an example:
nmblookup trek
querying trek on 10.1.59.255
10.1.56.45 trek<00> |
pdbedit <options>
The pdbedit program manages accounts located in the
SAM database. All backends are supported including
smbpasswd, LDAP, NIS+, and the
tdb database library.
The following are examples of adding, deleting, and listing users:
pdbedit -a kristin

rpcclient <server>
<options>
The rpcclient program issues administrative
commands using Microsoft RPCs, which provide access to the Windows
administration graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for systems
management. This is most often used by advanced users that understand
the full complexity of Microsoft RPCs.
smbcacls <//server/share> <filename>
<options>
The smbcacls program modifies Windows ACLs on files
and directories shared by the Samba server.
smbclient <//server/share>
<password> <options>
The smbclient program is a versatile UNIX client
which provides functionality similar to ftp.
smbcontrol -i <options>
smbcontrol <options> <destination>
<messagetype> <parameters>
The smbcontrol program sends control messages to
running smbd or nmbd
daemons. Executing smbcontrol -i runs commands
interactively until a blank line or a 'q' is entered.
smbgroupedit <options>
The smbgroupedit program maps between
Linux groups and Windows groups. It also allows a Linux group to be a
domain group.
smbmount <//server/share>
<mount_point> <-o options>
The smbmount program uses the low-level
smbmnt program to mount an smbfs file system (Samba
share). The mount -t smbfs
<//server/share> <mount_point> <-o
options> command also works.
For example:
smbmount //wakko/html /mnt/html -o username=kristin
Password: <password>
[root@yakko /]# ls -l /mnt/html
total 0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 29 08:09 index.html |
smbpasswd <options> <username>
<password>
The smbpasswd program manages encrypted
passwords. This program can be run by a superuser to change any user's
password as well as by an ordinary user to change their own Samba
password.
smbspool <job> <user> <title>
<copies> <options>
<filename>
The smbspool program is a CUPS-compatible printing
interface to Samba. Although designed for use with CUPS printers,
smbspool can work with non-CUPS printers as well.
smbstatus
<options>
The smbstatus program displays the status of current
connections to a Samba server.
smbtar <options>
The smbtar program performs backup and restores of
Windows-based share files and directories to a local tape
archive. Though similar to the tar command, the two
are not compatible.
testparm <options> <filename>
<hostname IP_address>
The testparm program checks the syntax of the
smb.conf file. If your
smb.conf file is in the default location
(/etc/samba/smb.conf) you do not need to specify
the location. Specifying the hostname and IP address to the
testparm program verifies that the
hosts.allow and host.deny
files are configured correctly. The testparm
program also displays a summary of your smb.conf
file and the server's role (stand-alone, domain, etc.) after
testing. This is convenient when debugging as it excludes comments and
concisely presents information for experienced administrators to read.
For example:
testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[tmp]"
Processing section "[html]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

testprns <printername>
<printcapname>
The testprns program checks if
printername is valid and exists in the
printcap. If the printcapname is
not specified, the default specified in the Samba or
printcap configuration files is used.
wbinfo <options>
The wbinfo program displays information
from the winbindd daemon. The
winbindd daemon must be running for
wbinfo to work.
