8 smbsh \- Allows access to Windows NT filesystem using UNIX commands
14 This tool is part of the Sambasuite.
16 \fBsmbsh\fR allows you to access an NT filesystem
17 using UNIX commands such as \fBls\fR, \fB egrep\fR, and \fBrcp\fR. You must use a
18 shell that is dynamically linked in order for \fBsmbsh\fR
21 To use the \fBsmbsh\fR command, execute \fB smbsh\fR from the prompt and enter the username and password
22 that authenticates you to the machine running the Windows NT
29 Password: \fBXXXXXXX\fR
34 Any dynamically linked command you execute from
35 this shell will access the \fI/smb\fR directory
36 using the smb protocol. For example, the command \fBls /smb
37 \fRwill show a list of workgroups. The command
38 \fBls /smb/MYGROUP \fR will show all the machines in
39 the workgroup MYGROUP. The command
40 \fBls /smb/MYGROUP/<machine-name>\fR will show the share
41 names for that machine. You could then, for example, use the \fB cd\fR command to change directories, \fBvi\fR to
42 edit files, and \fBrcp\fR to copy files.
45 This man page is correct for version 2.2 of
49 \fBsmbsh\fR works by intercepting the standard
50 libc calls with the dynamically loaded versions in \fI smbwrapper.o\fR. Not all calls have been "wrapped", so
51 some programs may not function correctly under \fBsmbsh
54 Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make
55 use of \fBsmbsh\fR's functionality. Most versions
56 of UNIX have a \fBfile\fR command that will
57 describe how a program was linked.
64 The original Samba software and related utilities
65 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
66 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
67 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
69 The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
70 The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
71 excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
72 ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
73 release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
74 Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
