  11                 both the username and the password.  If %pass is not specified,
  12                 the user will be prompted for the password.

  14                 the user to set the directory prefix for SMB access. The

  28 logged to the log files about the activities of the

  30 warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for
  31 day to day running - it generates a small amount of

  33 amounts of log data, and should only be used when

  40 services and in what order to resolve
  41 host names to IP addresses. The option takes a space-separated
  42 string of different name resolution options.</p><p>The options are: &quot;lmhosts&quot;, &quot;host&quot;, &quot;wins&quot; and &quot;bcast&quot;.
  43 They cause names to be resolved as follows :</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><tt>lmhosts</tt>:
  44 Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file. If the
  45 line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the
  46 NetBIOS name
  47 (see the <a href="lmhosts.5.html">lmhosts(5)</a>        for details)
  48 then any name type matches for lookup.
  49 </p></li><li><p><tt>host</tt>:
  50 Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using
  51 the system <tt>/etc/hosts</tt>, NIS, or DNS
  52 lookups. This method of name resolution is operating
  53 system dependent, for instance on IRIX or Solaris this
  54 may be controlled by the <tt>/etc/nsswitch.conf
  55 </tt> file).  Note that this method is only used
  56 if the NetBIOS name type being queried is the 0x20
  57 (server) name type, otherwise it is ignored.
  58 </p></li><li><p><tt>wins</tt>:
  59 Query a name with the IP address listed in the
  60 <i><tt>wins server</tt></i> parameter.  If no
  61 WINS server has been specified this method will be
  62 ignored.
  63 </p></li><li><p><tt>bcast</tt>:
  64 Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces
  65 listed in the <i><tt>interfaces</tt></i>
  66 parameter. This is the least reliable of the name
  67 resolution methods as it depends on the target host
  68 being on a locally connected subnet.
  69 </p></li></ul></div><p>If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order
  70 defined in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html">smb.conf(5)</a> file parameter
  71 (<i><tt>name resolve order</tt></i>) will be used. </p><p>The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast. Without
  72 this parameter or any entry in the <i><tt>name resolve order
  73 </tt></i> parameter of the <a href="smb.conf.5.html">smb.conf(5)</a> file, the name resolution methods
  74 will be attempted in this order. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-L libdir</span></dt><dd><p>This parameter specifies the location of the

  78         smbsh</b> from the prompt and enter the username and password
  79         that authenticates you to the machine running the Windows NT
  80         operating system.

  85 </pre><p>Any dynamically linked command you execute from
  86         this shell will access the <tt>/smb</tt> directory
  87         using the smb protocol. For example, the command <b>ls /smb
  88         </b> will show a list of workgroups. The command
  89         <b>ls /smb/MYGROUP </b> will show all the machines in
  90         the  workgroup MYGROUP. The command
  91         <b>ls /smb/MYGROUP/&lt;machine-name&gt;</b> will show the share
  92         names for that machine. You could then, for example, use the <b>
  93         cd</b> command to change directories, <b>vi</b> to
  94         edit files, and <b>rcp</b>  to copy files.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>VERSION</h2><p>This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>BUGS</h2><p><b>smbsh</b> works by intercepting the standard
  95         libc calls with the dynamically loaded versions in <tt>
  96         smbwrapper.o</tt>. Not all calls have been &quot;wrapped&quot;, so
  97         some programs may not function correctly under <b>smbsh
  98         </b>.</p><p>Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make
  99         use of <b>smbsh</b>'s functionality. Most versions
 100         of UNIX have a <b>file</b> command that will
 101         describe how a program was linked.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>SEE ALSO</h2><p><a href="smbd.8.html">smbd(8)</a>, <a href="smb.conf.5.html">smb.conf(5)</a></p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>The original Samba software and related utilities
