7 </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-D|--delete acls</span></dt><dd><p>Delete any ACLs specified on the command line.

13 to the name given using the <em class="parameter"><code>-C</code></em> option.
14 The name can be a sid in the form S-1-x-y-z or a name resolved
15 against the server specified in the first argument. </p><p>This command is a shortcut for -M OWNER:name.

28not specified is 0.</p><p>The higher this value, the more detail will be
29logged to the log files about the activities of the
30server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious
31warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for
32day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
33information about operations carried out.</p><p>Levels above 1 will generate considerable
34amounts of log data, and should only be used when
35investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for
36use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log
37data, most of which is extremely cryptic.</p><p>Note that specifying this parameter here will
38override the <a class="link" href="smb.conf.5.html#" target="_top"></a> parameter
39in the <code class="filename">smb.conf</code> file.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-V|--version</span></dt><dd><p>Prints the program version number.

43information such as what printcap file to use, as well
44as descriptions of all the services that the server is
45to provide. See <code class="filename">smb.conf</code> for more information.
46The default configuration file name is determined at
47compile time.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-l|--log-basename=logdirectory</span></dt><dd><p>Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension
48<code class="constant">".progname"</code> will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient,

50</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-N|--no-pass</span></dt><dd><p>If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal
51password prompt from the client to the user. This is useful when
52accessing a service that does not require a password. </p><p>Unless a password is specified on the command line or
53this parameter is specified, the client will request a
54password.</p><p>If a password is specified on the command line and this

56be silently ingnored and no password will be used.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-k|--kerberos</span></dt><dd><p>
57Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in
58an Active Directory environment.
59</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-A|--authentication-file=filename</span></dt><dd><p>This option allows
60you to specify a file from which to read the username and

67access from unwanted users. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-U|--user=username[%password]</span></dt><dd><p>Sets the SMB username or username and password. </p><p>If %password is not specified, the user will be prompted. The
68client will first check the <code class="envar">USER</code> environment variable, then the
69<code class="envar">LOGNAME</code> variable and if either exists, the
70string is uppercased. If these environmental variables are not
71found, the username <code class="constant">GUEST</code> is used. </p><p>A third option is to use a credentials file which
72contains the plaintext of the username and password. This
73option is mainly provided for scripts where the admin does not
74wish to pass the credentials on the command line or via environment
75variables. If this method is used, make certain that the permissions
76on the file restrict access from unwanted users. See the
77<em class="parameter"><code>-A</code></em> for more details. </p><p>Be cautious about including passwords in scripts. Also, on
78many systems the command line of a running process may be seen
79via the <code class="literal">ps</code> command. To be safe always allow
80<code class="literal">rpcclient</code> to prompt for a password and type
81it in directly. </p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2481697"></a><h2>ACL FORMAT</h2><p>The format of an ACL is one or more ACL entries separated by
82 either commas or newlines. An ACL entry is one of the following: </p><pre class="programlisting">
83REVISION:&lt;revision number&gt;
84OWNER:&lt;sid or name&gt;
85GROUP:&lt;sid or name&gt;
86ACL:&lt;sid or name&gt;:&lt;type&gt;/&lt;flags&gt;/&lt;mask&gt;
87</pre><p>The revision of the ACL specifies the internal Windows
88 NT ACL revision for the security descriptor.
89 If not specified it defaults to 1. Using values other than 1 may
90 cause strange behaviour. </p><p>The owner and group specify the owner and group sids for the
91 object. If a SID in the format S-1-x-y-z is specified this is used,
92 otherwise the name specified is resolved using the server on which
93 the file or directory resides. </p><p>ACLs specify permissions granted to the SID. This SID again
94 can be specified in S-1-x-y-z format or as a name in which case
95 it is resolved against the server on which the file or directory
96 resides. The type, flags and mask values determine the type of
97 access granted to the SID. </p><p>The type can be either ALLOWED or DENIED to allow/deny access
98 to the SID. The flags values are generally zero for file ACLs and
99 either 9 or 2 for directory ACLs. Some common flags are: </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><code class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_OBJECT_INHERIT 0x1</code></p></li><li><p><code class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_CONTAINER_INHERIT 0x2</code></p></li><li><p><code class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT 0x4</code></p></li><li><p><code class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_INHERIT_ONLY 0x8</code></p></li></ul></div><p>At present flags can only be specified as decimal or
100 hexadecimal values.</p><p>The mask is a value which expresses the access right
101 granted to the SID. It can be given as a decimal or hexadecimal value,
102 or by using one of the following text strings which map to the NT
103 file permissions of the same name. </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>R</em></span> - Allow read access </p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>W</em></span> - Allow write access</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>X</em></span> - Execute permission on the object</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>D</em></span> - Delete the object</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>P</em></span> - Change permissions</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>O</em></span> - Take ownership</p></li></ul></div><p>The following combined permissions can be specified:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>READ</em></span> - Equivalent to 'RX'
104 permissions</p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>CHANGE</em></span> - Equivalent to 'RXWD' permissions
105 </p></li><li><p><span class="emphasis"><em>FULL</em></span> - Equivalent to 'RWXDPO'
106 permissions</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2481861"></a><h2>EXIT STATUS</h2><p>The <code class="literal">smbcacls</code> program sets the exit status
107 depending on the success or otherwise of the operations performed.
108 The exit status may be one of the following values. </p><p>If the operation succeeded, smbcacls returns and exit
109 status of 0. If <code class="literal">smbcacls</code> couldn't connect to the specified server,
110 or there was an error getting or setting the ACLs, an exit status
111 of 1 is returned. If there was an error parsing any command line
112 arguments, an exit status of 2 is returned. </p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2481894"></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="id2481904"></a><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>The original Samba software and related utilities
