SYNOPSIS

       samba-tool [-h] [-W myworkgroup] [-U user] [-d debuglevel] [--v]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       -h|--help
           Show this help message and exit

       --realm=REALM
           Set the realm name

       --simple-bind-dn=DN
           DN to use for a simple bind

       --password=PASSWORD
           Password

       -U USERNAME|--username=USERNAME
           Username

       -W WORKGROUP|--workgroup=WORKGROUP
           Workgroup

       -N|--no-pass
           Don't ask for a password

       -k KERBEROS|--kerberos=KERBEROS
           Use Kerberos

       --ipaddress=IPADDRESS
           IP address of the server

       -d|--debuglevel=level
           level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is not specified
           is 1.

           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|--version
           Prints the program version number.

       -s|--configfile=<configuration file>
           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.

       --option=<name>=<value>
           Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the command line. This
           overrides compiled-in defaults and options read from the configuration file.
