| 37 | \fBtestparm\fR is a very simple test program to check an \fBsmbd\fR(8) configuration file for internal correctness\&. If this program reports no problems, you can use the configuration file with confidence that \fBsmbd \fR will successfully load the configuration file\&.

|

| 40 | Note that this is \fBNOT\fR a guarantee that the services specified in the configuration file will be available or will operate as expected\&.

| 43 | If the optional host name and host IP address are specified on the command line, this test program will run through the service entries reporting whether the specified host has access to each service\&.

|

| 45 | .PP
|
|---|
| 46 | If \fBtestparm\fR finds an error in the \fI smb\&.conf\fR file it returns an exit code of 1 to the calling program, else it returns an exit code of 0\&. This allows shell scripts to test the output from \fBtestparm\fR\&.

| 87 | hostname
|

| 88 | If this parameter and the following are specified, then \fBtestparm\fR will examine the \fIhosts allow\fR and \fIhosts deny\fR parameters in the \fBsmb\&.conf\fR(5) file to determine if the hostname with this IP address would be allowed access to the \fBsmbd\fR server\&. If this parameter is supplied, the hostIP parameter must also be supplied\&.

The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open Source software, available at ftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&. The conversion to DocBook for Samba 2\&.2 was done by Gerald Carter\&. The conversion to DocBook XML 4\&.2 for Samba 3\&.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy\&.
