.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
print services. This switch is assumed if \fBsmbd
\fR is executed on the command line of a shell.
.TP
-\fB-a\fR
-If this parameter is specified, each new
-connection will append log messages to the log file.
-This is the default.
+\fB-F\fR
+If specified, this parameter causes
+the main \fBsmbd\fR process to not daemonize,
+i.e. double-fork and disassociate with the terminal.
+Child processes are still created as normal to service
+each connection request, but the main process does not
+exit. This operation mode is suitable for running
+\fBsmbd\fR under process supervisors such
+as \fBsupervise\fR and \fBsvscan\fR
+from Daniel J. Bernstein's \fBdaemontools\fR
+package, or the AIX process monitor.
+.TP
+\fB-S\fR
+If specified, this parameter causes
+\fBsmbd\fR to log to standard output rather
+than a file.
.TP
\fB-i\fR
If this parameter is specified it causes the
server to run "interactively", not as a daemon, even if the
server is executed on the command line of a shell. Setting this
parameter negates the implicit deamon mode when run from the
-command line.
-.TP
-\fB-o\fR
-If this parameter is specified, the
-log files will be overwritten when opened. By default,
-\fBsmbd\fR will append entries to the log
-files.
-.TP
-\fB-P\fR
-Passive option. Causes \fBsmbd\fR not to
-send any network traffic out. Used for debugging by
-the developers only.
+command line. \fBsmbd\fR also logs to standard
+output, as if the \fB-S\fR parameter had been
+given.
.TP
\fB-h\fR
Prints the help information (usage)
for \fBsmbd\fR.

Prints the version number for
