SMBSH(1) SMBSH(1)

NAME

smbsh - Allows access to remote SMB shares using UNIX commands

SYNOPSIS

ssmmbbsshh [-W workgroup] [-U username] [-P prefix]

[-R ] [-d ] [-l logdir]

[-L libdir]

DESCRIPTION

This tool is part of the ssaammbbaa(7) suite. ssmmbbsshh allows you to access an NT filesystem using UNIX commands such as llss, eeggrreepp, and rrccpp. You must use a shell that is dynamically linked in order for ssmmbbsshh to work correctly. OOPPTTIIOONNSS

-W WORKGROUP

Override the default workgroup specified in the workgroup param-

eter of the ssmmbb..ccoonnff(5) file for this session. This may be need-

ed to connect to some servers.

-U username[%pass]

Sets the SMB username or username and password. If this option

is not specified, the user will be prompted for both the user-

name and the password. If %pass is not specified, the user will

be prompted for the password.

-P prefix

This option allows the user to set the directory prefix for SMB access. The default value if this option is not specified isssmmbb.

-s

The file specified contains the configuration details required

by the server. The information in this file includes server-spe-

cific information such as what printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide. See smb.conf for more information. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time.

-d|-debug=debuglevel

debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero. The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log

files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only crit-

ical errors and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a

reasonable level for day-to-day running - it generates a small

amount of information about operations carried out. Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic. Note that specifying this parameter here will override the log level parameter in the smb.conf file.

-R

This option is used to determine what naming services and in what order to resolve host names to IP addresses. The option

takes a space-separated string of different name resolution op-

tions. The options are: "lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast". They cause names to be resolved as follows : +o llmmhhoossttss: Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file. If the line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the NetBIOS name (see the llmmhhoossttss(5)for details) then any name type matches for lookup. +o hhoosstt: Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using the system /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS lookups. This method of name resolution is operating system dependent, for instance

on IRIX or Solaris this may be controlled by the /etc/nss-

witch.conf file). Note that this method is only used if the NetBIOS name type being queried is the 0x20 (server) name type, otherwise it is ignored. +o wwiinnss: Query a name with the IP address listed in the wins server parameter. If no WINS server has been specified this method will be ignored. +o bbccaasstt: Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces

listed in the interfaces parameter. This is the least reli-

able of the name resolution methods as it depends on the tar-

get host being on a locally connected subnet. If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order defined in the smb.conf file parameter (name resolve order) will be used. The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast. Without this parameter or any entry in the name resolve order parameter of the smb.conf file, the name resolution methods will be attempted in this order.

-L libdir

This parameter specifies the location of the shared libraries used by ssmmbbsshh. The default value is specified at compile time. EEXXAAMMPPLLEESS To use the ssmmbbsshh command, execute ssmmbbsshh from the prompt and enter the username and password that authenticates you to the machine running the Windows NT operating system.

system% ssmmbbsshh

Username: uusseerr Password: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX Any dynamically linked command you execute from this shell will access the /smb directory using the smb protocol. For example, the command llss //ssmmbb will show a list of workgroups. The commandllss //ssmmbb//MMYYGGRROOUUPP will

show all the machines in the workgroup MYGROUP. The commandllss //ssmmbb//MMYY-

GGRROOUUPP//<> will show the share names for that machine. You

could then, for example, use the ccdd command to change directories, vvii to edit files, and rrccpp to copy files. VVEERRSSIIOONN This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.

BUGS

ssmmbbsshh works by intercepting the standard libc calls with the dynamical-

ly loaded versions in smbwrapper.o. Not all calls have been "wrapped", so some programs may not function correctly under ssmmbbsshh . Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make use of ssmmbbsshh's

functionality. Most versions of UNIX have a ffiillee command that will de-

scribe how a program was linked.
