12
14 This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
15 The smbcquotas program manipulates NT Quotas on SMB file shares.
17
19 The following options are available to the smbcquotas program.
20 -u user
22 Specifies the user of whom the quotas are get or set. By default
23 the current user´s username will be used.
24 -L
26 Lists all quota records of the share.
27 -F
29 Show the share quota status and default limits.
30 -S QUOTA_SET_COMMAND
32 This command sets/modifies quotas for a user or on the share,
33 depending on the QUOTA_SET_COMMAND parameter which is described
34 later.
35 -n
37 This option displays all QUOTA information in numeric format. The
38 default is to convert SIDs to names and QUOTA limits to a readable
39 string format.
40 -t
42 Don´t actually do anything, only validate the correctness of the
43 arguments.
44 -v
46 Be verbose.
47 -h|--help
49 Print a summary of command line options.
50 -d|--debuglevel=level
52 level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this
53 parameter is not specified is 0.
54 The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log
56 files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical
57 errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable
58 level for day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
59 information about operations carried out.
60 Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
62 should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3
63 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts
64 of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
65 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the
67 smb.conf.5.html# parameter in the smb.conf file.
68 -V|--version
70 Prints the program version number.
71 -s|--configfile <configuration file>
73 The file specified contains the configuration details required by
74 the server. The information in this file includes server-specific
75 information such as what printcap file to use, as well as
76 descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide. See
77 smb.conf for more information. The default configuration file name
78 is determined at compile time.
79 -l|--log-basename=logdirectory
81 Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname"
82 will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log
83 file is never removed by the client.
84 -N|--no-pass
86 If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal password prompt
87 from the client to the user. This is useful when accessing a
88 service that does not require a password.
89 Unless a password is specified on the command line or this
91 parameter is specified, the client will request a password.
92 If a password is specified on the command line and this option is
94 also defined the password on the command line will be silently
95 ingnored and no password will be used.
96 -k|--kerberos
98 Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in an Active
99 Directory environment.
100 -C|--use-ccache
102 Try to use the credentials cached by winbind.
103 -A|--authentication-file=filename
105 This option allows you to specify a file from which to read the
106 username and password used in the connection. The format of the
107 file is
108 username = <value>
110 password = <value>
111 domain = <value>
112 Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from
114 unwanted users.
115 -U|--user=username[%password]
117 Sets the SMB username or username and password.
118 If %password is not specified, the user will be prompted. The
120 client will first check the USER environment variable, then the
121 LOGNAME variable and if either exists, the string is uppercased. If
122 these environmental variables are not found, the username GUEST is
123 used.
124 A third option is to use a credentials file which contains the
126 plaintext of the username and password. This option is mainly
127 provided for scripts where the admin does not wish to pass the
128 credentials on the command line or via environment variables. If
129 this method is used, make certain that the permissions on the file
130 restrict access from unwanted users. See the -A for more details.
131 Be cautious about including passwords in scripts. Also, on many
133 systems the command line of a running process may be seen via the
134 ps command. To be safe always allow rpcclient to prompt for a
135 password and type it in directly.
136
138 The format of an the QUOTA_SET_COMMAND is an operation name followed by
139 a set of parameters specific to that operation.
140 To set user quotas for the user specified by -u or for the current
142 username:
143 UQLIM:<username>:<softlimit>/<hardlimit>
145 To set the default quotas for a share:
147 FSQLIM:<softlimit>/<hardlimit>
149 To change the share quota settings:
151 FSQFLAGS:QUOTA_ENABLED/DENY_DISK/LOG_SOFTLIMIT/LOG_HARD_LIMIT
153 All limits are specified as a number of bytes.
155
157 The smbcquotas program sets the exit status depending on the success or
158 otherwise of the operations performed. The exit status may be one of
159 the following values.
160 If the operation succeeded, smbcquotas returns an exit status of 0. If
162 smbcquotas couldn´t connect to the specified server, or when there was
163 an error getting or setting the quota(s), an exit status of 1 is
164 returned. If there was an error parsing any command line arguments, an
165 exit status of 2 is returned.
166
168 This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite.

171 The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
172 Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
173 Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
174 smbcquotas was written by Stefan Metzmacher.
