26 This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
27 The smbcquotas program manipulates NT Quotas on SMB file shares.
29
31 The following options are available to the smbcquotas program.
32 -u|--quota-user user
34 Specifies the user of whom the quotas are get or set. By default
35 the current user's username will be used.
36 -L|--list
38 Lists all quota records of the share.
39 -F|--fs
41 Show the share quota status and default limits.
42 -S|--set QUOTA_SET_COMMAND
44 This command sets/modifies quotas for a user or on the share,
45 depending on the QUOTA_SET_COMMAND parameter which is described
46 later.
47 -n|--numeric
49 This option displays all QUOTA information in numeric format. The
50 default is to convert SIDs to names and QUOTA limits to a readable
51 string format.
52 -t|--test-args
54 Don't actually do anything, only validate the correctness of the
55 arguments.
56 -v|--verbose
58 Be verbose.
59 -?|--help
61 Print a summary of command line options.
62 --usage
64 Display brief usage message.
65 -d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL
67 level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this
68 parameter is not specified is 1 for client applications.
69 The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log
71 files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical
72 errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable
73 level for day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
74 information about operations carried out.
75 Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
77 should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3
78 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts
79 of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
80 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log
82 level parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
83 --debug-stdout
85 This will redirect debug output to STDOUT. By default all clients
86 are logging to STDERR.
87 --configfile=<configuration file>
89 The file specified contains the configuration details required by
90 the client. The information in this file can be general for client
91 and server or only provide client specific like options such as
92 client smb encrypt. See /etc/samba/smb.conf for more information.
93 The default configuration file name is determined at compile time.
94 --option=<name>=<value>
96 Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the
97 command line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read
98 from the configuration file. If a name or a value includes a space,
99 wrap whole --option=name=value into quotes.
100 -l|--log-basename=logdirectory
102 Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension ".progname"
103 will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient, log.smbd, etc...). The log
104 file is never removed by the client.
105 --leak-report
107 Enable talloc leak reporting on exit.
108 --leak-report-full
110 Enable full talloc leak reporting on exit.
111 -V|--version
113 Prints the program version number.
114 -R|--name-resolve=NAME-RESOLVE-ORDER
116 This option is used to determine what naming services and in what
117 order to resolve host names to IP addresses. The option takes a
118 space-separated string of different name resolution options. The
119 best ist to wrap the whole --name-resolve=NAME-RESOLVE-ORDER into
120 quotes.
121 The options are: "lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast". They cause
123 names to be resolved as follows:
124 • lmhosts: Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file.
126 If the line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the
127 NetBIOS name (see the lmhosts(5) for details) then any
128 name type matches for lookup.
129 • host: Do a standard host name to IP address resolution,
131 using the system /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS lookups. This
132 method of name resolution is operating system dependent,
133 for instance on IRIX or Solaris this may be controlled
134 by the /etc/nsswitch.conf file). Note that this method
135 is only used if the NetBIOS name type being queried is
136 the 0x20 (server) name type, otherwise it is ignored.
137 • wins: Query a name with the IP address listed in the
139 wins server parameter. If no WINS server has been
140 specified this method will be ignored.
141 • bcast: Do a broadcast on each of the known local
143 interfaces listed in the interfaces parameter. This is
144 the least reliable of the name resolution methods as it
145 depends on the target host being on a locally connected
146 subnet.
147 If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order defined in
149 the /etc/samba/smb.conf file parameter (name resolve order) will be
150 used.
151 The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast. Without this
153 parameter or any entry in the name resolve order parameter of the
154 /etc/samba/smb.conf file, the name resolution methods will be
155 attempted in this order.
156 -O|--socket-options=SOCKETOPTIONS
158 TCP socket options to set on the client socket. See the socket
159 options parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf manual page for the
160 list of valid options.
161 -m|--max-protocol=MAXPROTOCOL
163 The value of the parameter (a string) is the highest protocol level
164 that will be supported by the client.
165 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client
167 max protocol parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
168 -n|--netbiosname=NETBIOSNAME
170 This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses
171 for itself. This is identical to setting the netbios name parameter
172 in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. However, a command line setting
173 will take precedence over settings in /etc/samba/smb.conf.
174 --netbios-scope=SCOPE
176 This specifies a NetBIOS scope that nmblookup will use to
177 communicate with when generating NetBIOS names. For details on the
178 use of NetBIOS scopes, see rfc1001.txt and rfc1002.txt. NetBIOS
179 scopes are very rarely used, only set this parameter if you are the
180 system administrator in charge of all the NetBIOS systems you
181 communicate with.
182 -W|--workgroup=WORKGROUP
184 Set the SMB domain of the username. This overrides the default
185 domain which is the domain defined in smb.conf. If the domain
186 specified is the same as the servers NetBIOS name, it causes the
187 client to log on using the servers local SAM (as opposed to the
188 Domain SAM).
189 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the
191 workgroup parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
192 -r|--realm=REALM
194 Set the realm for the domain.
195 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the realm
197 parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
198 -U|--user=[DOMAIN\]USERNAME[%PASSWORD]
200 Sets the SMB username or username and password.
201 If %PASSWORD is not specified, the user will be prompted. The
203 client will first check the USER environment variable (which is
204 also permitted to also contain the password separated by a %), then
205 the LOGNAME variable (which is not permitted to contain a password)
206 and if either exists, the value is used. If these environmental
207 variables are not found, the username found in a Kerberos
208 Credentials cache may be used.
209 A third option is to use a credentials file which contains the
211 plaintext of the username and password. This option is mainly
212 provided for scripts where the admin does not wish to pass the
213 credentials on the command line or via environment variables. If
214 this method is used, make certain that the permissions on the file
215 restrict access from unwanted users. See the -A for more details.
216 Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or passing
218 user-supplied values onto the command line. For security it is
219 better to let the Samba client tool ask for the password if needed,
220 or obtain the password once with kinit.
221 While Samba will attempt to scrub the password from the process
223 title (as seen in ps), this is after startup and so is subject to a
224 race.
225 -N|--no-pass
227 If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal password prompt
228 from the client to the user. This is useful when accessing a
229 service that does not require a password.
230 Unless a password is specified on the command line or this
232 parameter is specified, the client will request a password.
233 If a password is specified on the command line and this option is
235 also defined the password on the command line will be silently
236 ignored and no password will be used.
237 --password
239 Specify the password on the commandline.
240 Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or passing
242 user-supplied values onto the command line. For security it is
243 better to let the Samba client tool ask for the password if needed,
244 or obtain the password once with kinit.
245 If --password is not specified, the tool will check the PASSWD
247 environment variable, followed by PASSWD_FD which is expected to
248 contain an open file descriptor (FD) number.
249 Finally it will check PASSWD_FILE (containing a file path to be
251 opened). The file should only contain the password. Make certain
252 that the permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted
253 users!
254 While Samba will attempt to scrub the password from the process
256 title (as seen in ps), this is after startup and so is subject to a
257 race.
258 --pw-nt-hash
260 The supplied password is the NT hash.
261 -A|--authentication-file=filename
263 This option allows you to specify a file from which to read the
264 username and password used in the connection. The format of the
265 file is:
266 username = <value>
268 password = <value>
269 domain = <value>
270 Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from
273 unwanted users!
274 -P|--machine-pass
276 Use stored machine account password.
277 --simple-bind-dn=DN
279 DN to use for a simple bind.
280 --use-kerberos=desired|required|off
282 This parameter determines whether Samba client tools will try to
283 authenticate using Kerberos. For Kerberos authentication you need
284 to use dns names instead of IP addresses when connecting to a
285 service.
286 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client
288 use kerberos parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
289 --use-krb5-ccache=CCACHE
291 Specifies the credential cache location for Kerberos
292 authentication.
293 This will set --use-kerberos=required too.
295 --use-winbind-ccache
297 Try to use the credential cache by winbind.
298 --client-protection=sign|encrypt|off
300 Sets the connection protection the client tool should use.
301 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client
303 protection parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
304 In case you need more fine grained control you can use:
306 --option=clientsmbencrypt=OPTION, --option=clientipcsigning=OPTION,
307 --option=clientsigning=OPTION.
308
310 The format of an the QUOTA_SET_COMMAND is an operation name followed by
311 a set of parameters specific to that operation.
312 To set user quotas for the user specified by -u or for the current
314 username:
315 UQLIM:<username>:<softlimit>/<hardlimit>
317 To set the default quotas for a share:
319 FSQLIM:<softlimit>/<hardlimit>
321 To change the share quota settings:
323 FSQFLAGS:QUOTA_ENABLED/DENY_DISK/LOG_SOFTLIMIT/LOG_HARD_LIMIT
325 All limits are specified as a number of bytes.
327
329 The smbcquotas program sets the exit status depending on the success or
330 otherwise of the operations performed. The exit status may be one of
331 the following values.
332 If the operation succeeded, smbcquotas returns an exit status of 0. If
334 smbcquotas couldn't connect to the specified server, or when there was
335 an error getting or setting the quota(s), an exit status of 1 is
336 returned. If there was an error parsing any command line arguments, an
337 exit status of 2 is returned.

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