30 -?|--help
31 Print a summary of command line options.
32 --usage
34 Display brief usage message.
35 -d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL
37 level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this
38 parameter is not specified is 1 for client applications.
39 The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log
41 files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical
42 errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable
43 level for day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
44 information about operations carried out.
45 Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
47 should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3
48 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts
49 of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
50 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log
52 level parameter in the smb.conf file.
53 --debug-stdout
55 This will redirect debug output to STDOUT. By default all clients
56 are logging to STDERR.
57 --configfile=<configuration file>
59 The file specified contains the configuration details required by
60 the client. The information in this file can be general for client
61 and server or only provide client specific like options such as
62 client smb encrypt. See smb.conf for more information. The default
63 configuration file name is determined at compile time.
64 --option=<name>=<value>
66 Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the
67 command line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read
68 from the configuration file. If a name or a value includes a space,
69 wrap whole --option=name=value into quotes.
70 -l|--log-basename=logdirectory
72 Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname"
73 will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log
74 file is never removed by the client.
75 --leak-report
77 Enable talloc leak reporting on exit.
78 --leak-report-full
80 Enable full talloc leak reporting on exit.
81 -V|--version
83 Prints the program version number.
84 -R|--name-resolve=NAME-RESOLVE-ORDER
86 This option is used to determine what naming services and in what
87 order to resolve host names to IP addresses. The option takes a
88 space-separated string of different name resolution options. The
89 best ist to wrap the whole --name-resolve=NAME-RESOLVE-ORDER into
90 quotes.
91 The options are: "lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast". They cause
93 names to be resolved as follows:
94 • lmhosts: Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file.
96 If the line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the
97 NetBIOS name (see the lmhosts(5) for details) then any
98 name type matches for lookup.
99 • host: Do a standard host name to IP address resolution,
101 using the system /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS lookups. This
102 method of name resolution is operating system dependent,
103 for instance on IRIX or Solaris this may be controlled
104 by the /etc/nsswitch.conf file). Note that this method
105 is only used if the NetBIOS name type being queried is
106 the 0x20 (server) name type, otherwise it is ignored.
107 • wins: Query a name with the IP address listed in the
109 wins server parameter. If no WINS server has been
110 specified this method will be ignored.
111 • bcast: Do a broadcast on each of the known local
113 interfaces listed in the interfaces parameter. This is
114 the least reliable of the name resolution methods as it
115 depends on the target host being on a locally connected
116 subnet.
117 If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order defined in
119 the smb.conf file parameter (name resolve order) will be used.
120 The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast. Without this
122 parameter or any entry in the name resolve order parameter of the
123 smb.conf file, the name resolution methods will be attempted in
124 this order.
125 -O|--socket-options=SOCKETOPTIONS
127 TCP socket options to set on the client socket. See the socket
128 options parameter in the smb.conf manual page for the list of valid
129 options.
130 -m|--max-protocol=MAXPROTOCOL
132 The value of the parameter (a string) is the highest protocol level
133 that will be supported by the client.
134 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client
136 max protocol parameter in the smb.conf file.
137 -n|--netbiosname=NETBIOSNAME
139 This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses
140 for itself. This is identical to setting the netbios name parameter
141 in the smb.conf file. However, a command line setting will take
142 precedence over settings in smb.conf.
143 --netbios-scope=SCOPE
145 This specifies a NetBIOS scope that nmblookup will use to
146 communicate with when generating NetBIOS names. For details on the
147 use of NetBIOS scopes, see rfc1001.txt and rfc1002.txt. NetBIOS
148 scopes are very rarely used, only set this parameter if you are the
149 system administrator in charge of all the NetBIOS systems you
150 communicate with.
151 -W|--workgroup=WORKGROUP
153 Set the SMB domain of the username. This overrides the default
154 domain which is the domain defined in smb.conf. If the domain
155 specified is the same as the servers NetBIOS name, it causes the
156 client to log on using the servers local SAM (as opposed to the
157 Domain SAM).
158 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the
160 workgroup parameter in the smb.conf file.
161 -r|--realm=REALM
163 Set the realm for the domain.
164 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the realm
166 parameter in the smb.conf file.
167 -U|--user=[DOMAIN\]USERNAME[%PASSWORD]
169 Sets the SMB username or username and password.
170 If %PASSWORD is not specified, the user will be prompted. The
172 client will first check the USER environment variable (which is
173 also permitted to also contain the password seperated by a %), then
174 the LOGNAME variable (which is not permitted to contain a password)
175 and if either exists, the value is used. If these environmental
176 variables are not found, the username found in a Kerberos
177 Credentials cache may be used.
178 A third option is to use a credentials file which contains the
180 plaintext of the username and password. This option is mainly
181 provided for scripts where the admin does not wish to pass the
182 credentials on the command line or via environment variables. If
183 this method is used, make certain that the permissions on the file
184 restrict access from unwanted users. See the -A for more details.
185 Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or passing
187 user-supplied values onto the command line. For security it is
188 better to let the Samba client tool ask for the password if needed,
189 or obtain the password once with kinit.
190 While Samba will attempt to scrub the password from the process
192 title (as seen in ps), this is after startup and so is subject to a
193 race.
194 -N|--no-pass
196 If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal password prompt
197 from the client to the user. This is useful when accessing a
198 service that does not require a password.
199 Unless a password is specified on the command line or this
201 parameter is specified, the client will request a password.
202 If a password is specified on the command line and this option is
204 also defined the password on the command line will be silently
205 ignored and no password will be used.
206 --password
208 Specify the password on the commandline.
209 Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or passing
211 user-supplied values onto the command line. For security it is
212 better to let the Samba client tool ask for the password if needed,
213 or obtain the password once with kinit.
214 If --password is not specified, the tool will check the PASSWD
216 environment variable, followed by PASSWD_FD which is expected to
217 contain an open file descriptor (FD) number.
218 Finally it will check PASSWD_FILE (containing a file path to be
220 opened). The file should only contain the password. Make certain
221 that the permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted
222 users!
223 While Samba will attempt to scrub the password from the process
225 title (as seen in ps), this is after startup and so is subject to a
226 race.
227 --pw-nt-hash
229 The supplied password is the NT hash.
230 -A|--authentication-file=filename
232 This option allows you to specify a file from which to read the
233 username and password used in the connection. The format of the
234 file is:
235 username = <value>
237 password = <value>
238 domain = <value>
239 Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from
242 unwanted users!
243 -P|--machine-pass
245 Use stored machine account password.
246 --simple-bind-dn=DN
248 DN to use for a simple bind.
249 --use-kerberos=desired|required|off
251 This parameter determines whether Samba client tools will try to
252 authenticate using Kerberos. For Kerberos authentication you need
253 to use dns names instead of IP addresses when connnecting to a
254 service.
255 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client
257 use kerberos parameter in the smb.conf file.
258 --use-krb5-ccache=CCACHE
260 Specifies the credential cache location for Kerberos
261 authentication.
262 This will set --use-kerberos=required too.
264 --use-winbind-ccache
266 Try to use the credential cache by winbind.
267 --client-protection=sign|encrypt|off
269 Sets the connection protection the client tool should use.
270 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client
272 protection parameter in the smb.conf file.
273 In case you need more fine grained control you can use:
275 --option=clientsmbencrypt=OPTION, --option=clientipcsigning=OPTION,
276 --option=clientsigning=OPTION.
