SMBUTIL(1)                BSD General Commands Manual               SMBUTIL(1)

NAME
     smbutil -- interface to the SMB requester

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

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

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

     Global options are as follows:

     -h      Print a short help message.

     -v      Verbose output.

     The commands and local options are:

     crypt [password]
             Encrypt clear text password for use in the ~/.nsmbrc file.  The
             encrypted password starts with the `$$1' symbols.  Warning: the
             encryption function is very weak and intended only to hide clear
             text password.  If password is omitted from the command line,
             smbutil will prompt for one.

     help command
             Print usage information about command.

     lc      List active connections and their parameters.

     login [-connectionoptions] /[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, it is possible to
             login only once and then use other SMB commands without authenti-
             cation procedure and additional connections.  For the description
             of -connectionoptions refer to the mountsmbfs(8) manpage (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 a connection created by the login com-
             mand.  A connection may not be closed immediately if it is used
             by other programs.

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

     print [-connectionoptions] /[workgroup;][user[password]@]
             server[/share] file
             Send the 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 work-
             group and system name.

     view [-connectionoptions] /[workgroup;][user[password]@] server
             List resources available on the specified server for the user
             user.

FILES
     ~/.nsmbrc  Keeps description for each connection.  See
                ./examples/dot.nsmbrc for details.
