smbutil - Interface to SMB requester

SYNOPSIS
smbutil [-hv] command [-options] [args]

DESCRIPTION
The smbutil command used to control SMB requester and issue various commands.

There are two types of options - global and local to specified command.

The global options are:

-v  Verbose output.

The commands and local options are:

crypt [password]
    Slightly encrypt clear text password to use it in the ~/.nsmbrc file. The encrypted password starts with '$$1' symbols. Warning: the encryption function is very weak and intented only to hide clear text password. If password is ommited from command line, program will prompt for one.

help command

lc  List active connections and their parameters.

    login [-connection options] //[workgroup; ][user[ password ]@] server[ /share] Login/attach to the specified server and/or share as user. This command will create and authenticate connection to an SMB server, and will leave it active after exit. Thus, one can login only once and then use other SMB commands without authentication procedure and additional connections. For the description of [-connection options] see mount_smbfs(8) command (all uppercase options are connection options).

    logout //[workgroup; ][user[ password ]@] server[ /share] Logout/detach from the specified server and/or share as user. This command will destroy connection created by login command. A connection may not be closed immediately if it used by other programs.

    lookup [-w host] name Resolve given name to IP address. NetBIOS name server can be directly specified via [-w] option.

    print [-connection options] //[workgroup; ][user[ password ]@] server[ /share] file Send given file to the specified queue on the remote server. If file is '-', then standard input will be used.

    status server Resolve given server (IP address or DNS name) to NetBIOS workgroup and system name.
