NAME
     smbd - CIFS server daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/smbsrv/smbd


DESCRIPTION
     The smbd daemon handles CIFS/SMB requests from CIFS clients,
     such  as Windows clients. Only processes with {PRIVSYSMB}
     and sufficient privileges to write  the  /var/run  directory
     can run this daemon.


     The smbd  daemon  is  automatically  invoked  by  using  the
     sharemgr  command over all available transports. By default,
     smbd starts over the NetBIOS-Over-TCP (NBT)  and  TCP  tran-
     sports.


     When smbd is started over NBT, the  following  services  are
     started:

         o    The NetBIOS name service is  started  on  UDP  port
              137.

         o    The NetBIOS datagram service is started on UDP port
              138.

         o    The NetBIOS session service is started on TCP  port
              139.


     When the smbd daemon is started over TCP, the  CIFS  service
     is started on TCP port 445.


     Only one instance of smbd may be running at a time.

EXIT STATUS
     The following exit values are returned:

     0            Daemon exited cleanly.


     95           Daemon exited with a fatal error.


     96           Daemon exited with a configuration error.

NOTES
     Use the svcadm command to perform administrative actions  on
     the smbd service, such as enabling, disabling, or restarting
     the service. Use the  svcs  command  to  query  the  service
     status.


     The smbd service is managed by the service management facil-
     ity under the service identifier svc:/network/smb/server.


     If the smbd service is disabled, it will be enabled  by  the
     sharemgr(1M)  command,   unless its autoenable  property is
     set to false.
