170 net \- Tool for administration of Samba and remote CIFS servers\&.
174 \FCnet\F[] {<ads|rap|rpc>} [\-h] [\-w\ workgroup] [\-W\ myworkgroup] [\-U\ user] [\-I\ ip\-address] [\-p\ port] [\-n\ myname] [\-s\ conffile] [\-S\ server] [\-l] [\-P] [\-d\ debuglevel] [\-V]
178 This tool is part of the
182 The Samba net utility is meant to work just like the net utility available for windows and DOS\&. The first argument should be used to specify the protocol to use when executing a certain command\&. ADS is used for ActiveDirectory, RAP is using for old (Win9x/NT3) clients and RPC can be used for NT4 and Windows 2000\&. If this argument is omitted, net will try to determine it automatically\&. Not all commands are available on all protocols\&.
187 Print a summary of command line options\&.
190 \-w target\-workgroup
192 Sets target workgroup or domain\&. You have to specify either this option or the IP address or the name of a server\&.
197 Sets client workgroup or domain
207 IP address of target server to use\&. You have to specify either this option or a target workgroup or a target server\&.
212 Port on the target server to connect to (usually 139 or 445)\&. Defaults to trying 445 first, then 139\&.
215 \-n <primary NetBIOS name>
217 This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses for itself\&. This is identical to setting the
218 \m[blue]\fBnetbios name\fR\m[]
221 file\&. However, a command line setting will take precedence over settings in
225 \-s <configuration file>
227 The file specified contains the configuration details required by the server\&. The information in this file includes server\-specific information such as what printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide\&. See
229 for more information\&. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time\&.
234 Name of target server\&. You should specify either this option or a target workgroup or a target IP address\&.
239 When listing data, give more information on each item\&.
244 Make queries to the external server using the machine account of the local server\&.
247 \-d|\-\-debuglevel=level
250 is an integer from 0 to 10\&. The default value if this parameter is not specified is 0\&.
252 The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about the activities of the server\&. At level 0, only critical 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\&.
254 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\&.
256 Note that specifying this parameter here will override the
257 \m[blue]\fBlog level\fR\m[]
265 This command allows the Samba machine account password to be set from an external application to a machine account password that has already been stored in Active Directory\&. DO NOT USE this command unless you know exactly what you are doing\&. The use of this command requires that the force flag (\-f) be used also\&. There will be NO command prompt\&. Whatever information is piped into stdin, either by typing at the command line or otherwise, will be stored as the literal machine password\&. Do NOT use this without care and attention as it will overwrite a legitimate machine password without warning\&. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED\&.
270 command allows you to view the time on a remote server or synchronise the time on the local server with the time on the remote server\&.
273 Without any options, the
275 command displays the time on the remote server\&.
278 Displays the time on the remote server in a format ready for
282 Tries to set the date and time of the local server to that on the remote server using
286 Displays the timezone in hours from GMT on the remote computer\&.
287 .SS "[RPC|ADS] JOIN [TYPE] [\-U username[%password]] [createupn=UPN] [createcomputer=OU] [options]"
289 Join a domain\&. If the account already exists on the server, and [TYPE] is MEMBER, the machine will attempt to join automatically\&. (Assuming that the machine has been created in server manager) Otherwise, a password will be prompted for, and a new account may be created\&.
291 [TYPE] may be PDC, BDC or MEMBER to specify the type of server joining the domain\&.
293 [UPN] (ADS only) set the principalname attribute during the join\&. The default format is host/netbiosname@REALM\&.
295 [OU] (ADS only) Precreate the computer account in a specific OU\&. The OU string reads from top to bottom without RDNs, and is delimited by a \'/\'\&. Please note that \'\e\' is used for escape by both the shell and ldap, so it may need to be doubled or quadrupled to pass through, and it is not used as a delimiter\&.

900 Starting with version 3\&.0\&.23, a Samba server now supports the ability for non\-root users to add user defined shares to be exported using the "net usershare" commands\&.
902 To set this up, first set up your smb\&.conf by adding to the [global] section: usershare path = /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares Next create the directory /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares, change the owner to root and set the group owner to the UNIX group who should have the ability to create usershares, for example a group called "serverops"\&. Set the permissions on /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares to 01770\&. (Owner and group all access, no access for others, plus the sticky bit, which means that a file in that directory can be renamed or deleted only by the owner of the file)\&. Finally, tell smbd how many usershares you will allow by adding to the [global] section of smb\&.conf a line such as : usershare max shares = 100\&. To allow 100 usershare definitions\&. Now, members of the UNIX group "serverops" can create user defined shares on demand using the commands below\&.
904 The usershare commands are:
906 net usershare add sharename path [comment] [acl] [guest_ok=[y|n]] \- to add or change a user defined share\&.
909 net usershare delete sharename \- to delete a user defined share\&.
912 net usershare info [\-l|\-\-long] [wildcard sharename] \- to print info about a user defined share\&.
915 net usershare list [\-l|\-\-long] [wildcard sharename] \- to list user defined shares\&.
917 .SS "USERSHARE ADD sharename path [comment] [acl] [guest_ok=[y|n]]"
919 Add or replace a new user defined share, with name "sharename"\&.
921 "path" specifies the absolute pathname on the system to be exported\&. Restrictions may be put on this, see the global smb\&.conf parameters: "usershare owner only", "usershare prefix allow list", and "usershare prefix deny list"\&.
923 The optional "comment" parameter is the comment that will appear on the share when browsed to by a client\&.
925 The optional "acl" field specifies which users have read and write access to the entire share\&. Note that guest connections are not allowed unless the smb\&.conf parameter "usershare allow guests" has been set\&. The definition of a user defined share acl is: "user:permission", where user is a valid username on the system and permission can be "F", "R", or "D"\&. "F" stands for "full permissions", ie\&. read and write permissions\&. "D" stands for "deny" for a user, ie\&. prevent this user from accessing this share\&. "R" stands for "read only", ie\&. only allow read access to this share (no creation of new files or directories or writing to files)\&.
927 The default if no "acl" is given is "Everyone:R", which means any authenticated user has read\-only access\&.
929 The optional "guest_ok" has the same effect as the parameter of the same name in smb\&.conf, in that it allows guest access to this user defined share\&. This parameter is only allowed if the global parameter "usershare allow guests" has been set to true in the smb\&.conf\&.
932 There is no separate command to modify an existing user defined share,
933 just use the "net usershare add [sharename]" command using the same
934 sharename as the one you wish to modify and specify the new options
935 you wish\&. The Samba smbd daemon notices user defined share modifications
936 at connect time so will see the change immediately, there is no need
937 to restart smbd on adding, deleting or changing a user defined share\&.
938 .SS "USERSHARE DELETE sharename"
