This protocol is sometimes also referred to as the Common Internet File System (CIFS)\&. For a more thorough description, see http://www\&.ubiqx\&.org/cifs/\&. Samba also implements the NetBIOS protocol in nmbd\&. .TP \fBsmbd\fR(8) The \fBsmbd\fR daemon provides the file and print services to SMB clients, such as Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups or LanManager\&. The configuration file for this daemon is described in \fBsmb\&.conf\fR(5) .TP \fBnmbd\fR(8) The \fBnmbd\fR daemon provides NetBIOS nameservice and browsing support\&. The configuration file for this daemon is described in \fBsmb\&.conf\fR(5) .TP \fBsmbclient\fR(1) The \fBsmbclient\fR program implements a simple ftp\-like client\&. This is useful for accessing SMB shares on other compatible servers (such as Windows NT), and can also be used to allow a UNIX box to print to a printer attached to any SMB server (such as a PC running Windows NT)\&. .TP \fBtestparm\fR(1) The \fBtestparm\fR utility is a simple syntax checker for Samba's \fBsmb\&.conf\fR(5) configuration file\&. .TP \fBtestprns\fR(1) The \fBtestprns\fR utility supports testing printer names defined in your \fIprintcap\fR file used by Samba\&. .TP \fBsmbstatus\fR(1) The \fBsmbstatus\fR tool provides access to information about the current connections to \fBsmbd\fR\&. .TP \fBnmblookup\fR(1) The \fBnmblookup\fR tools allows NetBIOS name queries to be made from a UNIX host\&. .TP \fBsmbpasswd\fR(8) The \fBsmbpasswd\fR command is a tool for changing LanMan and Windows NT password hashes on Samba and Windows NT servers\&. .TP \fBsmbcacls\fR(1) The \fBsmbcacls\fR command is a tool to set ACL's on remote CIFS servers\&. .TP \fBsmbsh\fR(1) The \fBsmbsh\fR command is a program that allows you to run a unix shell with with an overloaded VFS\&. .TP \fBsmbtree\fR(1) The \fBsmbtree\fR command is a text\-based network neighborhood tool\&. .TP \fBsmbtar\fR(1) The \fBsmbtar\fR can make backups of data on CIFS/SMB servers\&. .TP \fBsmbspool\fR(8) \fBsmbspool\fR is a helper utility for printing on printers connected to CIFS servers\&. .TP \fBsmbcontrol\fR(1) \fBsmbcontrol\fR is a utility that can change the behaviour of running samba daemons\&. .TP \fBrpcclient\fR(1) \fBrpcclient\fR is a utility that can be used to execute RPC commands on remote CIFS servers\&. .TP \fBpdbedit\fR(8) The \fBpdbedit\fR command can be used to maintain the local user database on a samba server\&. .TP \fBfindsmb\fR(1) The \fBfindsmb\fR command can be used to find SMB servers on the local network\&. .TP \fBnet\fR(8) The \fBnet\fR command is supposed to work similar to the DOS/Windows NET\&.EXE command\&. .TP \fBswat\fR(8) \fBswat\fR is a web\-based interface to configuring \fIsmb\&.conf\fR\&. .TP \fBwinbindd\fR(8) \fBwinbindd\fR is a daemon that is used for integrating authentication and the user database into unix\&. .TP \fBwbinfo\fR(1) \fBwbinfo\fR is a utility that retrieves and stores information related to winbind\&. .TP \fBeditreg\fR(1) \fBeditreg\fR is a command\-line utility that can edit windows registry files\&. .TP \fBprofiles\fR(1) \fBprofiles\fR is a command\-line utility that can be used to replace all occurences of a certain SID with another SID\&. .TP \fBlog2pcap\fR(1) \fBlog2pcap\fR is a utility for generating pcap trace files from Samba log files\&. .TP \fBvfstest\fR(1) \fBvfstest\fR is a utility that can be used to test vfs modules\&. .TP \fBntlm_auth\fR(1) \fBntlm_auth\fR is a helper\-utility for external programs wanting to do NTLM\-authentication\&. .TP \fBsmbmount\fR(8), \fBsmbumount\fR(8), \fBsmbmnt\fR(8) \fBsmbmount\fR,\fBsmbumount\fR and \fBsmbmnt\fR are commands that can be used to mount CIFS/SMB shares on Linux\&. .TP \fBsmbcquotas\fR(1) \fBsmbcquotas\fR is a tool that can set remote QUOTA's on server with NTFS 5\&. .SH "COMPONENTS" .PP The Samba suite is made up of several components\&. Each component is described in a separate manual page\&. It is strongly recommended that you read the documentation that comes with Samba and the manual pages of those components that you use\&. If the manual pages and documents aren't clear enough then please visithttp://devel\&.samba\&.org for information on how to file a bug report or submit a patch\&. .PP If you require help, visit the Samba webpage athttp://www\&.samba\&.org/ and explore the many option available to you\&. .SH "AVAILABILITY" .PP The Samba software suite is licensed under the GNU Public License(GPL)\&. A copy of that license should have come with the package in the file COPYING\&. You are encouraged to distribute copies of the Samba suite, but please obey the terms of this license\&. .PP The latest version of the Samba suite can be obtained via anonymous ftp from samba\&.org in the directory pub/samba/\&. It is also available on several mirror sites worldwide\&. .PP You may also find useful information about Samba on the newsgroup comp\&.protocol\&.smb and the Samba mailing list\&. Details on how to join the mailing list are given in the README file that comes with Samba\&. .PP If you have access to a WWW viewer (such as Mozilla or Konqueror) then you will also find lots of useful information, including back issues of the Samba mailing list, athttp://lists\&.samba\&.org\&. .SH "VERSION" .PP This man page is correct for version 3\&.0 of the Samba suite\&. .SH "CONTRIBUTIONS" .PP If you wish to contribute to the Samba project, then I suggest you join the Samba mailing list athttp://lists\&.samba\&.org\&. .PP If you have patches to submit, visithttp://devel\&.samba\&.org/ for information on how to do it properly\&. We prefer patches in \fBdiff \-u\fR format\&. .SH "CONTRIBUTORS" .PP Contributors to the project are now too numerous to mention here but all deserve the thanks of all Samba users\&. To see a full list, look at the\fIchange\-log\fR in the source package for the pre\-CVS changes and at http://cvs\&.samba\&.org/ for the contributors to Samba post\-CVS\&. CVS is the Open Source source code control system used by the Samba Team to develop Samba\&. The project would have been unmanageable without it\&. .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 original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer\&. 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\&.
