27logged to the log files about the activities of the

29warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for
30day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
31information about operations carried out.</p><p>Levels above 1 will generate considerable
32amounts of log data, and should only be used when
33investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for
34use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log
35data, most of which is extremely cryptic.</p><p>Note that specifying this parameter here will
36override the <a class="link" href="smb.conf.5.html#LOGLEVEL">log level</a> parameter
37in the <code class="filename">smb.conf</code> file.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-R &lt;name resolve order&gt;</span></dt><dd><p>This option is used to determine what naming
38services and in what order to resolve
39host names to IP addresses. The option takes a space-separated
40string of different name resolution options.</p><p>The options are: "lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast".
41They cause names to be resolved as follows :</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><code class="constant">lmhosts</code>:
42Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file. If the
43line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the
44NetBIOS name
45(see the <a class="citerefentry" href="lmhosts.5.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">lmhosts</span>(5)</span></a> for details)
46then any name type matches for lookup.
47</p></li><li><p><code class="constant">host</code>:
48Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using
49the system <code class="filename">/etc/hosts</code>, NIS, or DNS
50lookups. This method of name resolution is operating
51system dependent, for instance on IRIX or Solaris this
52may be controlled by the <code class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf
53</code> file). Note that this method is only used
54if the NetBIOS name type being queried is the 0x20
55(server) name type, otherwise it is ignored.
56</p></li><li><p><code class="constant">wins</code>:
57Query a name with the IP address listed in the
58<em class="parameter"><code>wins server</code></em> parameter. If no
59WINS server has been specified this method will be
60ignored.
61</p></li><li><p><code class="constant">bcast</code>:
62Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces
63listed in the <em class="parameter"><code>interfaces</code></em>
64parameter. This is the least reliable of the name
65resolution methods as it depends on the target host
66being on a locally connected subnet.

76 smbsh</code> from the prompt and enter the username and password
77 that authenticates you to the machine running the Windows NT
78 operating system.

82<code class="prompt">Password: </code><strong class="userinput"><code>XXXXXXX</code></strong>
83</pre><p>Any dynamically linked command you execute from
84 this shell will access the <code class="filename">/smb</code> directory
85 using the smb protocol. For example, the command <code class="literal">ls /smb
86 </code> will show a list of workgroups. The command
87 <code class="literal">ls /smb/MYGROUP </code> will show all the machines in
88 the workgroup MYGROUP. The command
89 <code class="literal">ls /smb/MYGROUP/&lt;machine-name&gt;</code> will show the share
90 names for that machine. You could then, for example, use the <code class="literal">
91 cd</code> command to change directories, <code class="literal">vi</code> to
92 edit files, and <code class="literal">rcp</code> to copy files.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2506489"></a><h2>VERSION</h2><p>This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2506500"></a><h2>BUGS</h2><p><code class="literal">smbsh</code> works by intercepting the standard
93 libc calls with the dynamically loaded versions in <code class="filename">
94 smbwrapper.o</code>. Not all calls have been "wrapped", so
95 some programs may not function correctly under <code class="literal">smbsh
96 </code>.</p><p>Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make
97 use of <code class="literal">smbsh</code>'s functionality. Most versions
98 of UNIX have a <code class="literal">file</code> command that will
99 describe how a program was linked.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2506547"></a><h2>SEE ALSO</h2><p><a class="citerefentry" href="smbd.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smbd</span>(8)</span></a>, <a class="citerefentry" href="smb.conf.5.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smb.conf</span>(5)</span></a></p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2506570"></a><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>The original Samba software and related utilities

106 release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
107 Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook XML 4.2
108 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.</p></div></div></body></html>
