32amounts of log data, and should only be used when

34use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log
35data, most of which is extremely cryptic.</p><p>Note that specifying this parameter here will

39host names to IP addresses. The option takes a space-separated
40string of different name resolution options.</p><p>The options are: "lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast".
41They cause names to be resolved as follows :</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><code class="constant">lmhosts</code>:
42Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file. If the
43line in lmhosts has no name type attached to the
44NetBIOS name
45(see the <a href="lmhosts.5.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">lmhosts</span>(5)</span></a>   for details)
46then any name type matches for lookup.
47</p></li><li><p><code class="constant">host</code>:
48Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using
49the system <code class="filename">/etc/hosts</code>, NIS, or DNS
50lookups. This method of name resolution is operating
51system dependent, for instance on IRIX or Solaris this
52may be controlled by the <code class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf
53</code> file).  Note that this method is only used
54if the NetBIOS name type being queried is the 0x20
55(server) name type, otherwise it is ignored.
56</p></li><li><p><code class="constant">wins</code>:
57Query a name with the IP address listed in the
58<em class="parameter"><code>wins server</code></em> parameter.  If no
59WINS server has been specified this method will be
60ignored.
61</p></li><li><p><code class="constant">bcast</code>:
62Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces
63listed in the <em class="parameter"><code>interfaces</code></em>
64parameter. This is the least reliable of the name
65resolution methods as it depends on the target host
66being on a locally connected subnet.
67</p></li></ul></div><p>If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order
68defined in the <code class="filename">smb.conf</code> file parameter

70</p><p>The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast. Without
71this parameter or any entry in the <a class="indexterm" name="id230558"></a> parameter of the <code class="filename">smb.conf</code> file, the name
72resolution methods will be attempted in this order. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-L libdir</span></dt><dd><p>This parameter specifies the location of the

76        smbsh</strong></span> from the prompt and enter the username and password
77        that authenticates you to the machine running the Windows NT

83</pre><p>Any dynamically linked command you execute from
84        this shell will access the <code class="filename">/smb</code> directory
85        using the smb protocol. For example, the command <span><strong class="command">ls /smb
86        </strong></span> will show a list of workgroups. The command
87        <span><strong class="command">ls /smb/MYGROUP </strong></span> will show all the machines in
88        the  workgroup MYGROUP. The command
89        <span><strong class="command">ls /smb/MYGROUP/&lt;machine-name&gt;</strong></span> will show the share
90        names for that machine. You could then, for example, use the <span><strong class="command">
91        cd</strong></span> command to change directories, <span><strong class="command">vi</strong></span> to
92        edit files, and <span><strong class="command">rcp</strong></span>  to copy files.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id271798"></a><h2>VERSION</h2><p>This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id271809"></a><h2>BUGS</h2><p><span><strong class="command">smbsh</strong></span> works by intercepting the standard
93        libc calls with the dynamically loaded versions in <code class="filename">
94        smbwrapper.o</code>. Not all calls have been "wrapped", so
95        some programs may not function correctly under <span><strong class="command">smbsh
96        </strong></span>.</p><p>Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make
97        use of <span><strong class="command">smbsh</strong></span>'s functionality. Most versions
98        of UNIX have a <span><strong class="command">file</strong></span> command that will
99        describe how a program was linked.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id271853"></a><h2>SEE ALSO</h2><p><a href="smbd.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smbd</span>(8)</span></a>, <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smb.conf</span>(5)</span></a></p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id271877"></a><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>The original Samba software and related utilities
