NAME
     smbstatus - report on current Samba connections

SYNOPSIS
     smbstatus [-P] [-b] [-d ] [-v] [-L] [-B] [-p]
      [-S] [-s ] [-u ]

DESCRIPTION
     This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

     smbstatus is a very simple program to list the current Samba
     connections.

OPTIONS
     -P--profile
         If samba has been compiled with the profiling option,
         print only the contents of the profiling shared memory
         area.

     -b--brief
         gives brief output.

     -d--debuglevel=level
         level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if
         this parameter is not specified is 0.

         The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to
         the log files about the activities of the server. At
         level 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will
         be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day-to-day
         running - it generates a small amount of information
         about operations carried out.

         Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log
         data, and should only be used when investigating a
         problem. Levels above 3 are designed for use only by
         developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most
         of which is extremely cryptic.

         Note that specifying this parameter here will override
         the log level parameter in the smb.conf file.

     -V
         Prints the program version number.

     -s 
         The file specified contains the configuration details
         required by the server. The information in this file
         includes server-specific information such as what
         printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the
         services that the server is to provide. See smb.conf for
         more information. The default configuration file name is

         determined at compile time.

     -l--log-basename=logdirectory
         Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension
         ".progname" will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient,
         log.smbd, etc...). The log file is never removed by the
         client.

     -v--verbose
         gives verbose output.

     -L--locks
         causes smbstatus to only list locks.

     -B--byterange
         causes smbstatus to include byte range locks.

     -p--processes
         print a list of smbd(1M) processes and exit. Useful for
         scripting.

     -S--shares
         causes smbstatus to only list shares.

     -h--help
         Print a summary of command line options.

     -u--user=
         selects information relevant to username only.

AUTHOR
     The original Samba software and related utilities were
     created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the
     Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
     Linux kernel is developed.

     The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The
     man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
     excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
     ftp:/ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba
     2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
     Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to
     DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.

NOTES

     Samba(7) delivers the set of four SMF(5) services as can be
     seen from the following example:

          $ svcs samba wins winbind swat
         STATE          STIME    FMRI
         disabled       Apr21   svc:/network/samba:default
         disabled       Apr21   svc:/network/winbind:default
         disabled       Apr21   svc:/network/wins:default
         disabled       Apr21   svc:/network/swat:default

     where the services are:

      "samba"
         runs the smbd daemon managing the CIFS sessions

      "wins"
         runs the nmbd daemon enabling the browsing (WINS)

      "winbind"
         runs the winbindd daemon making the domain idmap

      "swat"
         Samba Web Administration Tool is a service providing
         access to browser-based Samba administration interface
         and on-line documentation.  The service runs on software
         loopback network interface on port 901/tcp, i.e. opening
         "http:/localhost:901/" in browser will access the SWAT
         service on local machine.

     Please note: SWAT uses HTP Basic Authentication scheme
     where user name and passwords are sent over the network in
     clear text. In the SWAT case the user name is root.
     Transferring such sensitive data is advisable only on the
     software loopback network interface or over secure networks.
