sect(What is LDAP?)
A directory is a type of hierarchical database optimised for simple query
operations, often used for storing user information. LDAP is the
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, a protocol which is rapidly
becoming the Internet standard for accessing directories.
Many client applications now support LDAP (including Microsoft's Active
Directory), and there are a number of servers available. The most popular
implementation for Unix is from the em(University of Michigan); its
homepage is at url(tt(http://www.umich.edu/~dirsvcs/ldap/))(http://www.umich.edu/~dirsvcs/ldap/).
Information in an LDAP tree always comes in tt(attribute=value) pairs.
The following is an example of a Samba user entry:
verb(uid=jbloggs, dc=samba, dc=org
objectclass=sambaAccount
uid=jbloggs
cn=Joe Bloggs
description=Samba User
uidNumber=500
gidNumber=500
rid=2000
grouprid=2001
lmPassword=46E389809F8D55BB78A48108148AD508
ntPassword=1944CCE1AD6F80D8AEC9FC5BE77696F4
pwdLastSet=35C11F1B
smbHome=\\samba1\jbloggs
homeDrive=Z
script=logon.bat
profile=\\samba1\jbloggs\profile
workstations=JOE)
Note that the top line is a special set of attributes called a
em(distinguished name) which identifies the location of this entry beneath
the directory's root node. Recent Internet standards suggest the use of
domain-based naming using tt(dc) attributes (for instance, a microsoft.com
directory should have a root node of tt(dc=microsoft, dc=com)), although
this is not strictly necessary for isolated servers.
There are a number of LDAP-related FAQ's on the internet, although
generally the best source of information is the documentation for the
individual servers.

sect(Why LDAP and Samba?)
Using an LDAP directory allows Samba to store user and group information
more reliably and flexibly than the current combination of smbpasswd,
smbgroup, groupdb and aliasdb with the Unix databases. If a need emerges
for extra user information to be stored, this can easily be added without
loss of backwards compatibility.
In addition, the Samba LDAP schema is compatible with RFC2307, allowing
Unix password database information to be stored in the same entries. This
provides a single, consistent repository for both Unix and Windows user
information.
nl()
sect(Using LDAP with Samba)
starteit()
eit() Install and configure an LDAP server if you do not already have
one. You should read your LDAP server's documentation and set up the
configuration file and access control as desired.
eit() Build Samba (latest CVS is required) with:
verb( ./configure --with-ldap
make clean; make install)
eit() Add the following options to the global section of tt(smb.conf) as
required.
startdit()
dit(ldap suffix)
This parameter specifies the node of the LDAP tree beneath which
Samba should store its information. This parameter MUST be provided
when using LDAP with Samba.
bf(Default:) tt(none)
bf(Example:) tt(ldap suffix = "dc=mydomain, dc=org")
dit(ldap bind as)
This parameter specifies the entity to bind to an LDAP directory as.
Usually it should be safe to use the LDAP root account; for larger
installations it may be preferable to restrict Samba's access.
bf(Default:) tt(none (bind anonymously))
bf(Example:) tt(ldap bind as = "uid=root, dc=mydomain, dc=org")
dit(ldap passwd file)
This parameter specifies a file containing the password with which
Samba should bind to an LDAP server. For obvious security reasons
this file must be set to mode 700 or less.
bf(Default:) tt(none (bind anonymously))
bf(Example:) tt(ldap passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/ldappasswd)
dit(ldap server)
This parameter specifies the DNS name of the LDAP server to use
when storing and retrieving information about Samba users and
groups.
bf(Default:) tt(ldap server = localhost)
dit(ldap port)
This parameter specifies the TCP port number of the LDAP server.
bf(Default:) tt(ldap port = 389)
enddit()
eit() You should then be able to use the normal smbpasswd(8) command for
account administration (or User Manager in the near future).
endeit()
nl()
sect(Using LDAP for Unix authentication)
The Samba LDAP code was designed to utilise RFC2307-compliant directory
entries if available. RFC2307 is a proposed standard for LDAP user
information which has been adopted by a number of vendors. Further
information is available at url(tt(http://www.xedoc.com.au/~lukeh/ldap/))(http://www.xedoc.com.au/~lukeh/ldap).
Of particular interest is Luke Howard's nameservice switch module
(nss_ldap) and PAM module (pam_ldap) implementing this standard, providing
LDAP-based password databases for Unix. If you are setting up a server to
provide integrated Unix/NT services than these are worth investigating.
nl()
sect(Compatibility with Active Directory)
The current implementation is not designed to be used with Microsoft
Active Directory, although compatibility may be added in the future.

label(DESCRIPTION)
manpagedescription()
This program is part of the bf(Samba) suite.
bf(rpcclient) is a client that can 'talk' to an SMB/CIFS MSRPC server.
Operations include things like managing a SAM Database (users, groups
and aliases) in the same way as the Windows NT programs
bf(User Manager for Domains) and bf(Server Manager for Domains);
managing a remote registry in the same way as the Windows NT programs
bf(REGEDT32.EXE) and bf(REGEDIT.EXE); viewing a remote event log (same
as bf(EVENTVWR.EXE)) etc.
Typical usage is like this: nl()
tt(rpcclient -I 192.168.32.1 -S "*SMBSERVER" -U fred%secret -l log)
nl()
bf(rpcclient) is em(not) suitable for usage on single-user systems
such as Windows 9X, as Windows 9X does not support MSRPC services.
Therefore, if you have problems using bf(rpcclient) with Windows 9X,
we don't want to hear about it.
label(OPTIONS)
manpageoptions()
startdit()
label(servername)
dit(bf(servername)) servername is the name of the server you want
to use on the server. This should be the NetBIOS name of the SMB/CIFS
server, which can be bf(*SMBSERVER) on Windows NT 4.0 or Samba Servers.
Note that the server name required is NOT necessarily the IP (DNS)
host name of the server! The name required is a NetBIOS server name,
which may or may not be the same as the IP hostname of the machine
running the server. Also, remember that having a period in a NetBIOS
name (such as an IP hostname) may cause connectivity problems on your
network: NT tends to strip NetBIOS names from the leading period
onwards.
The server name is looked up according to either the
link(bf(-R))(minusR) parameter to bf(rpcclient) or using the
url(bf(name resolve order))(smb.conf.5.html#nameresolveorder)
parameter in the smb.conf file, allowing an administrator to change
the order and methods by which server names are looked up.
label(password)
dit(bf(password)) password is the password required to access the
specified service on the specified server. If this parameter is
supplied, the link(bf(-N))(minusN) option (suppress password prompt) is assumed.
There is no default password. If no password is supplied on the
command line (either by using this parameter or adding a password to
the link(bf(-U))(minusU) option (see below)) and the link(bf(-N))(minusN) option is not specified,
the client will prompt for a password, even if the desired service
does not require one. (If no password is required, simply press ENTER
to provide a null password.)
Note: Some servers (including OS/2 and Windows for Workgroups) insist
on an uppercase password. Lowercase or mixed case passwords may be
rejected by these servers.
Be cautious about including passwords in scripts.
label(minuss)
dit(bf(-s smb.conf)) This parameter specifies the pathname to the
Samba configuration file, smb.conf. This file controls all aspects of
the Samba setup on the machine and rpcclient also needs to read this
file.
label(minusB)
dit(bf(-B IP addr)) The IP address to use when sending a broadcast packet.
label(minusO)
dit(bf(-O socket options)) TCP socket options to set on the client
socket. See the url(socket options)(smb.conf.5.html#socketoptions)
parameter in the url(bf(smb.conf (5)))(smb.conf.5.html) manpage for
the list of valid options.
label(minusR)
dit(bf(-R name resolve order)) This option allows the user of
rpcclient to determine what name resolution services to use when
looking up the NetBIOS name of the host being connected to.
The options are :"lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast". They cause
names to be resolved as follows :
startit()
it() bf(lmhosts) : Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file.
The lmhosts file is stored in the same directory as the
url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html) file.
it() bf(host) : Do a standard host name to IP address resolution,
using the system /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS lookups. This method of name
resolution is operating system depended for instance on IRIX or
Solaris this may be controlled by the em(/etc/nsswitch.conf) file).
it() bf(wins) : Query a name with the IP address listed in the url(bf(wins
server))(smb.conf.5.html#winsserver) parameter in the smb.conf file. If
no WINS server has been specified this method will be ignored.
it() bf(bcast) : Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces
listed in the url(bf(interfaces))(smb.conf.5.html#interfaces) parameter
in the smb.conf file. This is the least reliable of the name resolution
methods as it depends on the target host being on a locally connected
subnet. To specify a particular broadcast address the link(bf(-B))(minusB) option
may be used.
endit()
If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order defined
in the url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html) file parameter
url((bf(name resolve order)))(smb.conf.5.html#nameresolveorder)
will be used.
The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast and without this
parameter or any entry in the url(bf("name resolve
order"))(smb.conf.5.html#nameresolveorder) parameter of the
url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html) file the name resolution methods
will be attempted in this order.
label(minusi)
dit(bf(-i scope)) This specifies a NetBIOS scope that rpcclient will use
to communicate with when generating NetBIOS names. For details on the
use of NetBIOS scopes, see rfc1001.txt and rfc1002.txt. NetBIOS scopes
are em(very) rarely used, only set this parameter if you are the
system administrator in charge of all the NetBIOS systems you
communicate with.
label(minusN)
dit(bf(-N)) 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.
Unless a password is specified on the command line or this parameter
is specified, the client will request a password.
label(minusn)
dit(bf(-n NetBIOS name)) By default, the client will use the local
machine's hostname (in uppercase) as its NetBIOS name. This parameter
allows you to override the host name and use whatever NetBIOS name you
wish.
label(minusd)
dit(bf(-d debuglevel)) debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10, or the
letter 'A'.
The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero.
The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files
about the activities of the client. 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.
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. If debuglevel is set to the
letter 'A', then em(all) debug messages will be printed. This setting
is for developers only (and people who em(really) want to know how the
code works internally).
Note that specifying this parameter here will override the url(bf(log
level))(smb.conf.5.html#loglevel) parameter in the url(bf(smb.conf
(5)))(smb.conf.5.html) file.
label(minusp)
dit(bf(-p port)) This number is the TCP port number that will be used
when making connections to the server. The standard (well-known) TCP
port number for an SMB/CIFS server is 139, which is the default.
label(minusl)
dit(bf(-l logfilename)) If specified, logfilename specifies a base
filename into which operational data from the running client will be
logged.
The default base name is specified at compile time.
The base name is used to generate actual log file names. For example,
if the name specified was "log", the debug file would be
tt(log.client).
The log file generated is never removed by the client.
label(minush)
dit(bf(-h)) Print the usage message for the client.
label(minusI)
dit(bf(-I IP address)) IP address is the address of the server to
connect to. It should be specified in standard "a.b.c.d" notation.
Normally the client would attempt to locate a named SMB/CIFS server by
looking it up via the NetBIOS name resolution mechanism described
above in the link(bf(name resolve order))(minusR) parameter
above. Using this parameter will force the client to assume that the
server is on the machine with the specified IP address and the NetBIOS
name component of the resource being connected to will be ignored.
There is no default for this parameter. If not supplied, it will be
determined automatically by the client as described above.
label(minusE)
dit(bf(-E)) This parameter causes the client to write messages to the
standard error stream (stderr) rather than to the standard output
stream.
By default, the client writes messages to standard output - typically
the user's tty.
Note that by default, debug information is always sent to stderr.
Debug information can instead be sent to a file, using the
link(-l log basename)(minusl) option.
label(minusU)
dit(bf(-U username)) This specifies the user name that will be used by
the client to make a connection, assuming your server is not a downlevel
server that is running a protocol level that uses passwords on shares,
not on usernames.
Some servers are fussy about the case of this name, and some insist
that it must be a valid NetBIOS name.
If no username is supplied, it will default to an uppercase version of
the environment variable tt(USER) or tt(LOGNAME) in that order. If no
username is supplied and neither environment variable exists the
username "GUEST" will be used.
If the tt(USER) environment variable contains a '%' character,
everything after that will be treated as a password. This allows you
to set the environment variable to be tt(USER=username%password) so
that a password is not passed on the command line (where it may be
seen by the ps command).
If the service you are connecting to requires a password, it can be
supplied using the link(bf(-U))(minusU) option, by appending a percent symbol ("%")
then the password to username. For example, to attach to a service as
user tt("fred") with password tt("secret"), you would specify. nl()
tt(-U fred%secret) nl()
on the command line. Note that there are no spaces around the percent
symbol.
If you specify the password as part of username then the link(bf(-N))(minusN) option
(suppress password prompt) is assumed.
If you specify the password as a parameter em(AND) as part of username
then the password as part of username will take precedence. Putting
nothing before or nothing after the percent symbol will cause an empty
username or an empty password to be used, respectively.
The password may also be specified by setting up an environment
variable called tt(PASSWORD) that contains the users password. Note
that this may be very insecure on some systems but on others allows
users to script rpcclient commands without having a password appear in
the command line of a process listing.
Note: Some servers (including OS/2 and Windows for Workgroups) insist
on an uppercase password. Lowercase or mixed case passwords may be
rejected by these servers.
Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or in the
tt(PASSWORD) environment variable. Also, on many systems the command
line of a running process may be seen via the tt(ps) command to be
safe always allow rpcclient to prompt for a password and type it in
directly.
label(minust)
dit(bf(-t terminal code)) This option tells rpcclient how to interpret
filenames coming from the remote server. Usually Asian language
multibyte UNIX implementations use different character sets than
SMB/CIFS servers (em(EUC) instead of em(SJIS) for example). Setting
this parameter will let rpcclient convert between the UNIX filenames
and the SMB filenames correctly. This option has not been seriously
tested and may have some problems.
The terminal codes include tt(sjis), tt(euc), tt(jis7), tt(jis8),
tt(junet), tt(hex), tt(cap). This is not a complete list, check the
Samba source code for the complete list.
label(minusm)
dit(bf(-m max protocol level)) With the new code in Samba2.0,
bf(rpcclient) always attempts to connect at the maximum
protocols level the server supports. This parameter is
preserved for backwards compatibility, but any string
following the bf(-m) will be ignored.
label(minusW)
dit(bf(-W Domain)) Override the default Domain, which is the remote server's
Domain. This option may be needed to connect to some servers. It is also
possible to specify the remote server name as the Domain, which will
force the username and password to be authenticated against the remote
server's local SAM instead of the Domain SAM.
label(minusc)
dit(bf(-c command string)) command string is a semicolon separated
list of commands to be executed instead of prompting from stdin.
link(bf(-N))(minusN) is implied by bf(-c).
This is particularly useful in scripts, e.g. tt(-c 'lsaquery; enumusers -u').
enddit()
label(OPERATIONS)
manpagesection(OPERATIONS)
Once the client is running, the user is presented with a prompt :
tt(smb:\>)
The prompt indicates that the client is ready and waiting to carry out
a user command. Each command is a single word, optionally followed by
parameters specific to that command. Command and parameters are
space-delimited unless these notes specifically state otherwise. All
commands are case-insensitive. Parameters to commands may or may not
be case sensitive, depending on the command.
You can specify names (e.g registry keys; user or group names;
service names) which have spaces in them by quoting the
name with double quotes, for example "dRMON SmartAgent".
Parameters shown in square brackets (e.g., "[parameter]") are
optional. If not given, the command will use suitable
defaults. Parameters shown in angle brackets (e.g., "<parameter>") are
required.
Note that all commands operating on the server are actually performed
by issuing a request to the server. Thus the behavior may vary from
server to server, depending on how the server was implemented.
The commands available are listed in groups relating to different services:
startdit()
dit(Misccellaneous)
startdit()
label(questionmark) dit(bf(? [command])) If "command" is specified,
the bf(?) command will display a brief informative message about the
specified command. If no command is specified, a list of available
commands will be displayed.
label(exclaimationmark) dit(bf(! [shell command])) If "shell command"
is specified, the bf(!) command will execute a shell locally and run
the specified shell command. If no command is specified, a local shell
will be run.
label(exit) dit(bf(exit)) Terminate the connection with the server and
exit from the program.
label(help) dit(bf(help [command])) See the link(bf(?))(questionmark)
command above.
label(quit) dit(bf(quit)) See the link(bf(exit))(exit) command.

is responsible for (i.e a workstation's local SAM
database or the PDC SAM database). Also obtains the
SID and name of the SAM database that a server is
a member of.
label(lsaenumdomains) dit(bf(lsaenumdomains))
Enumerate Trusted Domains. Lists all Trusted and
Trusting Domains with which the remote PDC has
trust relationships established.
label(lookupsids) dit(bf(lookupsids))
<rid1 or sid1> <rid1 or sid2> ... Resolve names from SIDs.
Mostly to be used by developers or for troubleshooting,
this command can take either Security Identifiers or Relative
Identifiers, and look them up in the local SAM database
(or look them up in a remote Trusting or Trusted PDC's SAM
database if there is an appropriate Trust Relationship
established). The result is a list of names, of the
format: nl()
tt([TRUST_DOMAIN\]name). nl()
the link(bf(lsaquery))(lsaquery) command must have been
issued first if you wish to use lookupsids to resolve
RIDs. The only RIDs that will be resolved will be those
in the SAM database of the server to which you are connected.
label(lookupnames) dit(bf(lookupnames))
<name1> <name2> ... Resolve SIDs from names.
Mostly to be used by developers or for troubleshooting,
this command can take names of the following format: nl()
tt([DOMAIN_NAME\]name). nl()
The names, which can be user, group or alias names, will
either be looked up in the local SAM database or in a remote
Trusting or Trusted PDC's SAM database, if there is an
appropriate Trust Relationship established. The optional
Domain name component is the name of a SAM database, which

Domain.
Example Usage: nl()
tt(lookupnames WKSTANAME\Administrator "Domain Guests") nl()
label(querysecret) dit(bf(querysecret))
LSA Query Secret (developer use). This command only appears
to work against NT4 SP3 and below. Due to its potential
for misuse, it looks like Microsoft modified their
implementation of the LsaRetrievePrivateData call to
always return NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.
enddit()
dit(NETLOGON)
startdit()
label(ntlogin) dit(bf(ntlogin))
[username] [password] NT Domain login test. Demonstrates
how NT-style logins work. Mainly for developer usage,
it can also be used to verify that a user can log in
from a workstation. If you cannot ever get pam_ntdom
to work, try this command first.
label(domtrust) dit(bf(domtrust))
<domain> NT Inter-Domain test. Demonstrates how NT-style
Inter-Domain Trust relationships work. Mainly for
developer usage, it can also be used to verify that a
Trust Relationship is correctly established with a
remote PDC.
label(samsync) dit(bf(samsync))
SAM Synchronisation Test (experimental). This command
is used to manually synchronise a SAM database from a
remote PDC, when Samba is set up as a Backup Domain
Controller.
enddit()
dit(SAM Database)
The SAM Database holds user, group and alias information.
The commands listed below allow operations such as adding
user accounts and changing their password; listing known
Domains; listing user, group and alias accounts; listing the
members of groups and aliases; adding or removing members
from groups and aliases.
The commands that make changes are protected by Access Control
permissions on the remote server. You will therefore need to
be in the right NT group in order to perform certain operations.
If you find that a command fails with an NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
error and you think you should be able to perform that command,
talk to your Administrator: your username is probably not in the
correct NT alias or group (e.g Account Operators; Domain Admin).
The commands that view information usually require less
user privileges. However, a particular remote server may be
configured with better security settings, so a command that
succeeds on one server may not succeed on another.
It is possible to use command-line completion (if you have
the GNU readline library) for user, group, alias and domain
names, by pressing the tab key.

label(NOTES)
manpagesection(NOTES)
Some servers are fussy about the case of supplied usernames,
passwords, share names (AKA service names) and machine names. If you
fail to connect try giving all parameters in uppercase.
It is often necessary to use the link(bf(-n))(minusn) option when connecting
to some types of servers. For example OS/2 LanManager insists on a valid
NetBIOS name being used, so you need to supply a valid name that would
be known to the server.
rpcclient only works on servers that support MSRPC over SMB. This includes
all versions of Windows NT, including the ports to Unix such as AS/U and
AFPS. Support for MSRPC over SMB in other servers is currently rare and
patchy, for example Samba 2.0 only supports a limited set of MSRPC commands,
and some of those are not supported very well.
label(ENVIRONMENTVARIABLES)
manpagesection(ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES)
The variable bf(USER) may contain the username of the person using the
client. This information is used only if the protocol level is high
enough to support session-level passwords.
The variable bf(PASSWORD) may contain the password of the person using
the client. This information is used only if the protocol level is
high enough to support session-level passwords.
label(INSTALLATION)
manpagesection(INSTALLATION)
The location of the client program is a matter for individual system
administrators. The following are thus suggestions only.
It is recommended that the rpcclient software be installed in the
/usr/local/samba/bin or /usr/samba/bin directory, this directory
readable by all, writeable only by root. The client program itself
should be executable by all. The client should em(NOT) be setuid or
setgid!
The client log files should be put in a directory readable and
writeable only by the user.
To test the client, you will need to know the name of a running
SMB/CIFS server. It is possible to run url(bf(smbd (8)))(smbd.8.html)
an ordinary user - running that server as a daemon on a
user-accessible port (typically any port number over 1024) would
provide a suitable test server.
label(DIAGNOSTICS)
manpagesection(DIAGNOSTICS)
Most diagnostics issued by the client are logged in a specified log
file. The log file name is specified at compile time, but may be
overridden on the command line.
The number and nature of diagnostics available depends on the debug
level used by the client. If you have problems, set the debug level to
3 and peruse the log files.

dit(WARNING!)
The MSPRC 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 flakey in places.
The development of Samba's implementation of these services is em(also)
a bit rough, and as more of the services are understood, it can even result
in versions of url(bf(smbd (8)))(smbd.8.html) and rpcclient that are
backwards-incompatible for some commands or services. Additionally, the
developers are sending reports to Microsoft, and problems found by or
reported to Microsoft are fixed in Service Packs, which may also result in
incompatibilities.
It is therefore not guaranteed that the execution of an rpcclient command will
work. It is also not guaranteed that the target server will continue to
operate, i.e the execution of an MSRPC command may cause a remote service to
fail, or even cause the remote server to fail. Usual rules apply, of course:
the developers bear absolutely no responsibility or liability for the use,
misuse, or lack of use of rpcclient, by any person or persons, whether legal,
illegal, accidental, deliberate, intentional, malicious, curious, etc.
This em(particularly) applies to the registry and SAM database commands.
As you are using a command-line tool not a mouse-clicky tool, you have
already proven yourself to be savvy, however if you don't know what you're
doing, then em(don't do it!).
dit(Command Completion)
Command-completion (available if you have the GNU readline library) used on
certain commands may not operate correctly if the word being completed (such as a registry key) contains a space. Typically, the name will be completed, but
you will have to go back and put quotes round it, yourself.
dit(SAM Database command-completion)
Command-completion (available if you have the GNU readline library) of user,
group and alias names does not work on remote Domains, which would normally
be specified like this: nl()
tt(DOMAIN_name\user_name). nl()
The only names that can be completed in this fashion are the local names
in the SAM database of the target server.
dit(link(bf(spoolenum))(spoolenum))
Due to current limitations in the rpcclient MSRPC / SMB code, and due to
the extremely poor MSRPC implementation (by Microsoft) of the spooler
service, if there are a large number of printers (or the names / comment
fields associated with the printers), this command will fail. The
limitations require further research to be carried out; we're stuck with
the poor \PIPE\spoolss design.

The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell email(samba-bugs@samba.org). Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
Linux kernel is developed.
The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page
sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
Source software, available at
url(bf(ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/))(ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/))
and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. This man page
was developed cut-and-paste style from the smbclient man page, by
Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton.
