    55There are many sources of information available in the form of mailing lists, RFCs, and documentation. The
    66documentation that comes with the Samba distribution contains good explanations of general SMB topics such as
    77browsing.

    1414With SMB networking, it is often not immediately clear what the cause is of a certain problem. Samba itself
    1515provides rather useful information, but in some cases you might have to fall back to using a
    1616<span class="emphasis"><em>sniffer</em></span>. A sniffer is a program that listens on your LAN, analyzes the data sent on it,
    1717and displays it on the screen.

    2626One of the best diagnostic tools for debugging problems is Samba itself.  You can use the <code class="option">-d
    2727option</code> for both <span class="application">smbd</span> and <span class="application">nmbd</span> to specify the <a class="link" href="smb.conf.5.html#DEBUGLEVEL" target="_top">debug level</a> at which to run.
    … …  
    2929options. The debug level (log level) can range from 1 (the default) to 10 (100 for debugging passwords).
