22<h2>NAME</h2>
23    smbsh - Allows access to Windows NT filesystem using UNIX commands

25<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
26    
27<p><strong>smbsh</strong>
28<p><a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
29<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
30    
31<p>This program is part of the <strong>Samba</strong> suite.
32<p><strong>smbsh</strong> allows you to access an NT filesystem using UNIX commands
33such as <strong>ls</strong>, <strong>egrep</strong>, and <strong>rcp</strong>. You must use a shell that
34is dynmanically linked in order for <strong>smbsh</strong> to work correctly.
35<p>To use the <strong>smbsh</strong> command, execute <strong>smbsh</strong> from the prompt and
36enter the username and password that authenticate you to the
37machine running the Windows NT operating system.
38<p><pre>

40system% smbsh

45
46<p>Any dynamically linked command you execute from this shell will
47access the <strong>/smb</strong> directory using the smb protocol.
48For example, the command 
49<p><code>ls /smb</code>
50<p>will show all the machines in your workgroup.
51The command 
52<p><code>ls /smb/&lt;machine-name&gt;</code>
53<p>will show the share names for that machine. You could then, for example, use the 
54<strong>cd</strong> command to change directories, <strong>vi</strong> to edit files, and <strong>rcp</strong>
55 to copy files.

57<h2>VERSION</h2>
58    
59<p>This man page is correct for the 2.0.3 of the Samba suite.
60<p><a name="BUGS"></a>
61<h2>BUGS</h2>
62    
63<p><strong>smbsh</strong> works by intercepting the standard libc calls with the dynamically loaded
64versions in <strong>smbwrapper.o</strong>. Not all calls have been "wrapped" so some programs
65may not function correctly under <strong>smbsh</strong>.
66<p>Programs which are not dynamically linked cannot make use of <strong>smbsh</strong>'s 
67functionality. Most versions of UNIX have a <strong>file</strong> command that will describe how
68a program was linked.

77<p>The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
78Andrew Tridgell (samba@samba.org). Samba is now developed
79by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
80Linux kernel is developed.
81<p>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer. The man page
82sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
83Source software, available at
84<a href="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/"><strong>ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</strong></a>)
85and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy Allison.
