  41         <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
  42
  43         <para><application>gentest</application> is a utility for
  44                 detecting differences in behaviour between SMB servers.
  45                 It will run a random set of generic operations against
  46                 <parameter>//server1/share1</parameter> and then the same
  47                 random set against <parameter>//server2/share2</parameter>
  48                 and display the differences in the responses it gets.
  49         </para>
  50
  51         <para>
  52                 This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in
  53                 behaviour between Samba and Windows servers.
