1 .TH SMBSH 1 "30 Jan 2001" "smbsh 2.2.0-alpha2"
4 smbsh \- Allows access to Windows NT filesystem using UNIX commands
12 This program is part of the \fBSamba\fP suite\&.
14 \fBsmbsh\fP allows you to access an NT filesystem using UNIX commands
15 such as \fBls\fP, \fBegrep\fP, and \fBrcp\fP\&. You must use a shell that
16 is dynmanically linked in order for \fBsmbsh\fP to work correctly\&.
18 To use the \fBsmbsh\fP command, execute \fBsmbsh\fP from the prompt and
19 enter the username and password that authenticate you to the
20 machine running the Windows NT operating system\&.
34 Any dynamically linked command you execute from this shell will
35 access the \fB/smb\fP directory using the smb protocol\&.
36 For example, the command
40 will show all the machines in your workgroup\&.
43 \f(CWls /smb/<machine-name>\fP
45 will show the share names for that machine\&. You could then, for example, use the
46 \fBcd\fP command to change directories, \fBvi\fP to edit files, and \fBrcp\fP
51 This man page is correct for the 2\&.0\&.3 of the Samba suite\&.
55 \fBsmbsh\fP works by intercepting the standard libc calls with the dynamically loaded
56 versions in \fBsmbwrapper\&.o\fP\&. Not all calls have been "wrapped" so some programs
57 may not function correctly under \fBsmbsh\fP\&.
59 Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make use of \fBsmbsh\fP\'s
60 functionality\&. Most versions of UNIX have a \fBfile\fP command that will describe how
61 a program was linked\&.
70 The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
71 Andrew Tridgell (samba@samba\&.org)\&. Samba is now developed
72 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
73 Linux kernel is developed\&.
75 The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer\&. The man page
76 sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
77 Source software, available at
78 \fBftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/\fP)
79 and updated for the Samba2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&.
