DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
The sharesec program manipulates share permissions on SMB file shares.
OPTIONS
The following options are available to the sharesec program. The format of ACLs is
described in the section ACL FORMAT
-a|--add=ACL
Add the ACEs specified to the ACL list.
-D|--delete
Delete the entire security descriptor.
-F|--force
Force storing the ACL.
-m|--modify=ACL
Modify existing ACEs.
-M|--machine-sid
Initialize the machine SID.
-r|--remove=ACL
Remove ACEs.
-R|--replace=ACLS
Overwrite an existing share permission ACL.
-v|--view
List a share acl
--view-all
List all share acls
-S|--setsddl=STRING
Set security descriptor by providing ACL in SDDL format.
--viewsddl
List a share acl in SDDL format.
-?|--help
Print a summary of command line options.
--usage
Display brief usage message.
-d|--debuglevel=DEBUGLEVEL
level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is not specified
is 1 for client applications.
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.
--debug-stdout
This will redirect debug output to STDOUT. By default all clients are logging to
STDERR.
--configfile=<configuration file>
The file specified contains the configuration details required by the client. The
information in this file can be general for client and server or only provide client
specific like options such as client smb encrypt. See smb.conf for more information.
The default configuration file name is determined at compile time.
--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. If a name
or a value includes a space, wrap whole --option=name=value into quotes.
-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.
--leak-report
Enable talloc leak reporting on exit.
--leak-report-full
Enable full talloc leak reporting on exit.
-V|--version
Prints the program version number.
ACL FORMAT
The format of an ACL is one or more ACL entries separated by either commas or newlines. An
ACL entry is one of the following:
REVISION:<revision number>
OWNER:<sid or name>
GROUP:<sid or name>
ACL:<sid or name>:<type>/<flags>/<mask>
The revision of the ACL specifies the internal Windows NT ACL revision for the security
descriptor. If not specified it defaults to 1. Using values other than 1 may cause strange
behaviour.
The owner and group specify the owner and group SIDs for the object. Share ACLs do not
specify an owner or a group, so these fields are empty.
ACLs specify permissions granted to the SID. This SID can be specified in S-1-x-y-z format
or as a name in which case it is resolved against the server on which the file or
directory resides. The type, flags and mask values determine the type of access granted to
the SID.
The type can be either ALLOWED or DENIED to allow/deny access to the SID. The flags values
are generally zero for share ACLs.
The mask is a value which expresses the access right granted to the SID. It can be given
as a decimal or hexadecimal value, or by using one of the following text strings which map
to the NT file permissions of the same name.
• R - Allow read access
• W - Allow write access
• X - Execute permission on the object
• D - Delete the object
• P - Change permissions
• O - Take ownership
The following combined permissions can be specified:
• READ - Equivalent to 'RX' permissions
• CHANGE - Equivalent to 'RXWD' permissions
• FULL - Equivalent to 'RWXDPO' permissions
EXIT STATUS
The sharesec program sets the exit status depending on the success or otherwise of the
operations performed. The exit status may be one of the following values.
If the operation succeeded, sharesec returns and exit status of 0. If sharesec couldn't
connect to the specified server, or there was an error getting or setting the ACLs, an
exit status of 1 is returned. If there was an error parsing any command line arguments, an
exit status of 2 is returned.
EXAMPLES
Add full access for SID S-1-5-21-1866488690-1365729215-3963860297-17724 on share:
host:~ # sharesec share -a S-1-5-21-1866488690-1365729215-3963860297-17724:ALLOWED/0/FULL
List all ACEs for share:
host:~ # sharesec share -v
REVISION:1
CONTROL:SR|DP
OWNER:
GROUP:
ACL:S-1-1-0:ALLOWED/0x0/FULL
ACL:S-1-5-21-1866488690-1365729215-3963860297-17724:ALLOWED/0x0/FULL
