18 This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
19 samba-regedit is a ncurses based tool to manage the Samba registry. It
21 can be used to show/edit registry keys/subkeys and their values.
22
24 -?|--help
25 Print a summary of command line options.
26 -d|--debuglevel=level
28 level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this
29 parameter is not specified is 1.
30 The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log
32 files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical
33 errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable
34 level for day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
35 information about operations carried out.
36 Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
38 should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3
39 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts
40 of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
41 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log
43 level parameter in the smb.conf file.
44 --usage
46 Display brief usage message.
47 -V|--version
49 Prints the program version number.
50 -s|--configfile=<configuration file>
52 The file specified contains the configuration details required by
53 the server. The information in this file includes server-specific
54 information such as what printcap file to use, as well as
55 descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide. See
56 smb.conf for more information. The default configuration file name
57 is determined at compile time.
58 -l|--log-basename=logdirectory
60 Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname"
61 will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log
62 file is never removed by the client.
63 --option=<name>=<value>
65 Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the
66 command line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read
67 from the configuration file.
68 -n|--netbiosname <primary NetBIOS name>
70 This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses
71 for itself. This is identical to setting the netbios name parameter
72 in the smb.conf file. However, a command line setting will take
73 precedence over settings in smb.conf.
74 -i|--scope <scope>
76 This specifies a NetBIOS scope that nmblookup will use to
77 communicate with when generating NetBIOS names. For details on the
78 use of NetBIOS scopes, see rfc1001.txt and rfc1002.txt. NetBIOS
79 scopes are very rarely used, only set this parameter if you are the
80 system administrator in charge of all the NetBIOS systems you
81 communicate with.
82 -W|--workgroup=domain
84 Set the SMB domain of the username. This overrides the default
85 domain which is the domain defined in smb.conf. If the domain
86 specified is the same as the servers NetBIOS name, it causes the
87 client to log on using the servers local SAM (as opposed to the
88 Domain SAM).
89 -O|--socket-options socket options
91 TCP socket options to set on the client socket. See the socket
92 options parameter in the smb.conf manual page for the list of valid
93 options.
94 -N|--no-pass
96 If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal password prompt
97 from the client to the user. This is useful when accessing a
98 service that does not require a password.
99 Unless a password is specified on the command line or this
101 parameter is specified, the client will request a password.
102 If a password is specified on the command line and this option is
104 also defined the password on the command line will be silently
105 ingnored and no password will be used.
106 -k|--kerberos
108 Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in an Active
109 Directory environment.
110 -C|--use-ccache
112 Try to use the credentials cached by winbind.
113 -A|--authentication-file=filename
115 This option allows you to specify a file from which to read the
116 username and password used in the connection. The format of the
117 file is
118 username = <value>
120 password = <value>
121 domain = <value>
122 Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from
124 unwanted users.
125 -U|--user=username[%password]
127 Sets the SMB username or username and password.
128 If %password is not specified, the user will be prompted. The
130 client will first check the USER environment variable, then the
131 LOGNAME variable and if either exists, the string is uppercased. If
132 these environmental variables are not found, the username GUEST is
133 used.
134 A third option is to use a credentials file which contains the
136 plaintext of the username and password. This option is mainly
137 provided for scripts where the admin does not wish to pass the
138 credentials on the command line or via environment variables. If
139 this method is used, make certain that the permissions on the file
140 restrict access from unwanted users. See the -A for more details.
141 Be cautious about including passwords in scripts. Also, on many
143 systems the command line of a running process may be seen via the
144 ps command. To be safe always allow rpcclient to prompt for a
145 password and type it in directly.
146 -S|--signing on|off|required
148 Set the client signing state.
149 -P|--machine-pass
151 Use stored machine account password.
152 -e|--encrypt
154 This command line parameter requires the remote server support the
155 UNIX extensions or that the SMB3 protocol has been selected.
156 Requests that the connection be encrypted. Negotiates SMB
157 encryption using either SMB3 or POSIX extensions via GSSAPI. Uses
158 the given credentials for the encryption negotiation (either
159 kerberos or NTLMv1/v2 if given domain/username/password triple.
160 Fails the connection if encryption cannot be negotiated.
161 --pw-nt-hash
163 The supplied password is the NT hash.

172 The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
173 Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
174 Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
175 The samba-regedit man page was written by Karolin Seeger.
