DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite. smbtree is a smb browser program in text mode. It is similar to the "Network Neighborhood" found on Windows computers. It prints a tree with all the known domains, the servers in those domains and the shares on the servers.OPTIONS
-D|--domainsOnly print a list of all the domains known on
broadcast or by the master browser
-S|--servers
Only print a list of all the domains and
servers responding on broadcast or known by the master browser.
-?|--help
Print a summary of command line options.
--usage
Display brief usage message.
-d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL
level is an integer from 0 to 10. The
default value if this parameter is not specified is 1 for client applications.
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 log level
parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
--debug-stdout
This will redirect debug output to STDOUT. By
default all clients are logging to STDERR.
--configfile=<configuration file>
The file specified contains the configuration
details required by the client. The information in this file can be general
for client and server or only provide client specific like options such as
client smb encrypt. See /etc/samba/smb.conf for more information. The
default configuration file name is determined at compile time.
--option=<name>=<value>
Set the smb.conf(5) option
"<name>" to value "<value>" from the command
line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read from the
configuration file. If a name or a value includes a space, wrap whole
--option=name=value into quotes.
-l|--log-basename=logdirectory
Base directory name for log/debug files. The
extension ".progname" will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient,
log.smbd, etc...). The log file is never removed by the client.
--leak-report
Enable talloc leak reporting on exit.
--leak-report-full
Enable full talloc leak reporting on
exit.
-V|--version
Prints the program version number.
-U|--user=[DOMAIN\]USERNAME[%PASSWORD]
Sets the SMB username or username and
password.
If %PASSWORD is not specified, the user will be prompted. The client will first
check the USER environment variable (which is also permitted to also
contain the password separated by a %), then the LOGNAME variable
(which is not permitted to contain a password) and if either exists, the value
is used. If these environmental variables are not found, the username found in
a Kerberos Credentials cache may be used.
A third option is to use a credentials file which contains the plaintext of the
username and password. This option is mainly provided for scripts where the
admin does not wish to pass the credentials on the command line or via
environment variables. If this method is used, make certain that the
permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted users. See the -A
for more details.
Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or passing user-supplied values
onto the command line. For security it is better to let the Samba client tool
ask for the password if needed, or obtain the password once with kinit.
While Samba will attempt to scrub the password from the process title (as seen
in ps), this is after startup and so is subject to a race.
-N|--no-pass
If specified, this parameter suppresses the
normal password prompt from the client to the user. This is useful when
accessing a service that does not require a password.
Unless a password is specified on the command line or this parameter is
specified, the client will request a password.
If a password is specified on the command line and this option is also defined
the password on the command line will be silently ignored and no password will
be used.
--password
Specify the password on the commandline.
Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or passing user-supplied values
onto the command line. For security it is better to let the Samba client tool
ask for the password if needed, or obtain the password once with kinit.
If --password is not specified, the tool will check the PASSWD
environment variable, followed by PASSWD_FD which is expected to
contain an open file descriptor (FD) number.
Finally it will check PASSWD_FILE (containing a file path to be opened).
The file should only contain the password. Make certain that the permissions
on the file restrict access from unwanted users!
While Samba will attempt to scrub the password from the process title (as seen
in ps), this is after startup and so is subject to a race.
--pw-nt-hash
The supplied password is the NT hash.
-A|--authentication-file=filename
This option allows you to specify a file from
which to read the username and password used in the connection. The format of
the file is:
Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted
users!
-P|--machine-pass
username = <value> password = <value> domain = <value>
Use stored machine account password.
--simple-bind-dn=DN
DN to use for a simple bind.
--use-kerberos=desired|required|off
This parameter determines whether Samba client
tools will try to authenticate using Kerberos. For Kerberos authentication you
need to use dns names instead of IP addresses when connecting to a service.
Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client use
kerberos parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
--use-krb5-ccache=CCACHE
Specifies the credential cache location for
Kerberos authentication.
This will set --use-kerberos=required too.
--use-winbind-ccache
Try to use the credential cache by
winbind.
--client-protection=sign|encrypt|off
Sets the connection protection the client tool
should use.
Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client
protection parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
In case you need more fine grained control you can use:
--option=clientsmbencrypt=OPTION, --option=clientipcsigning=OPTION,
--option=clientsigning=OPTION.
