It returns 0 if the users is authenticated successfully and 1 if access was denied\&. ntlm_auth uses winbind to access the user and authentication data for a domain\&. This utility is only to be used by other programs (currently squid)\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .TP --helper-protocol=PROTO Operate as a stdio-based helper .TP --username=USERNAME Specify username of user to authenticate .TP --domain=DOMAIN Specify domain of user to authenticate .TP --workstation=WORKSTATION Specify the workstation the user authenticated from .TP --challenge=STRING challenge (HEX encoded) .TP --lm-response=RESPONSE LM Response to the challenge (HEX encoded) .TP --nt-response=RESPONSE NT or NTLMv2 Response to the challenge (HEX encoded) .TP --password=PASSWORD User's plaintext password .TP --request-lm-key Retreive LM session key .TP --request-nt-key Request NT key .TP -V Prints the version number for \fBsmbd\fR\&. .TP -s <configuration file> 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 \fIsmb\&.conf\fR for more information\&. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time\&. .TP -d|--debug=debuglevel \fIdebuglevel\fR is an integer from 0 to 10\&. The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero\&. 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\&. 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\&. Note that specifying this parameter here will override the \fIlog level\fR parameter in the \fIsmb\&.conf\fR file\&. .TP -l|--logfile=logbasename File name for log/debug files\&. The extension \fB"\&.client"\fR will be appended\&. The log file is never removed by the client\&. .TP -h|--help Print a summary of command line options\&. .SH "VERSION" .PP This man page is correct for version 3\&.0 of the Samba suite\&. .SH "AUTHOR" .PP The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&. .PP The ntlm_auth manpage was written by Jelmer Vernooij\&.
