NAME

6       masktest - Find differences in wildcard matching between Samba's
7       implementation and that of a remote server.

SYNOPSIS

10       masktest {//server/share} [-U user%pass] [-d debuglevel] [-W workgroup]
11                [-n numloops] [-s seed] [-a] [-E] [-M max protocol]
12                [-f filechars] [-m maskchars] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

15       masktest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour between
16       Samba's own implementation and that of a remote server. It will run
17       generate random filenames/masks and check if these match the same files
18       they do on the remote file as they do on the local server. It will
19       display any differences it finds.
20
21       This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour
22       between Samba and Windows servers.

OPTIONS

25       -U user%pass
26           Specify the user and password to use when logging on on the shares.

29
30       -s seed
31           Seed the random number generator with the specified value.
32
33       -n numops
34           Set the number of operations to perform.
35
36       -a
37           Print the operations that are performed.

39       -M max_protocol
40           Maximum protocol to use.
41
42       -f
43           Specify characters that can be used when generating file names.
44           Default: abcdefghijklm.
45
46       -E
47           Abort when difference in behaviour is found.
48
49       -m maskchars
50           Specify characters used for wildcards.
