NAME

6       gentest - Run random generic SMB operations against two SMB servers and
7       show the differences in behavior
8

SYNOPSIS

10       gentest {//server1/share1} {//server2/share2} {-U user%pass}
11               {-U user%pass} [-s seed] [-o numops] [-a] [-A] [-i FILE] [-O]
12               [-S FILE] [-L] [-F] [-C] [-X]

DESCRIPTION

15       gentest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour between SMB
16       servers. It will run a random set of generic operations against
17       //server1/share1 and then the same random set against //server2/share2
18       and display the differences in the responses it gets.
19
20       This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour
21       between Samba and Windows servers.

OPTIONS

24       -U user%pass
25           Specify the user and password to use when logging on on the shares.
26           This parameter is mandatory and has to be specified twice.
27
28       -s seed
29           Seed the random number generator with the specified value.
30
31       -o numops
32           Set the number of operations to perform.
33
34       -a
35           Print the operations that are performed.
36
37       -A
38           Backtrack to find minimal number of operations required to make the
39           response to a certain call differ.
40
41       -i FILE
42           Specify a file containing the names of fields that have to be
43           ignored (such as time fields). See below for a description of the
44           file format.
45
46       -O
47           Enable oplocks.
48
49       -S FILE
50           Set preset seeds file. The default is gentest_seeds.dat.
51
52       -L
53           Use preset seeds
54
55       -F
56           Fast reconnect (just close files)
57
58       -C
59           Continuous analysis mode
60
61       -X
62           Analyse even when the test succeeded.
