DESCRIPTION

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

       The smbcquotas program manipulates NT Quotas on SMB file shares.

OPTIONS

       The following options are available to the smbcquotas program.

       -u|--quota-user user
           Specifies the user of whom the quotas are get or set. By default the current user's
           username will be used.

       -L|--list
           Lists all quota records of the share.

       -F|--fs
           Show the share quota status and default limits.

       -S|--set QUOTA_SET_COMMAND
           This command sets/modifies quotas for a user or on the share, depending on the
           QUOTA_SET_COMMAND parameter which is described later.

       -n|--numeric
           This option displays all QUOTA information in numeric format. The default is to
           convert SIDs to names and QUOTA limits to a readable string format.

       -t|--test-args
           Don't actually do anything, only validate the correctness of the arguments.

       -v|--verbose
           Be verbose.

       -?|--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
           /etc/samba/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 /etc/samba/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.

       -R|--name-resolve=NAME-RESOLVE-ORDER
           This option is used to determine what naming services and in what order to resolve
           host names to IP addresses. The option takes a space-separated string of different
           name resolution options. The best is to wrap the whole
           --name-resolve=NAME-RESOLVE-ORDER into quotes.

           The options are: "lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast". They cause names to be
           resolved as follows:

                  •   lmhosts: Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file. If the line in
                      lmhosts has no name type attached to the NetBIOS name (see the lmhosts(5)
                      for details) then any name type matches for lookup.

                  •   host: Do a standard host name to IP address resolution, using the system
                      /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS lookups. This method of name resolution is
                      operating system dependent, for instance on IRIX or Solaris this may be
                      controlled by the /etc/nsswitch.conf file). Note that this method is only
                      used if the NetBIOS name type being queried is the 0x20 (server) name type,
                      otherwise it is ignored.

                  •   wins: Query a name with the IP address listed in the wins server parameter.
                      If no WINS server has been specified this method will be ignored.

                  •   bcast: Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces listed in the
                      interfaces parameter. This is the least reliable of the name resolution
                      methods as it depends on the target host being on a locally connected
                      subnet.

           If this parameter is not set then the name resolve order defined in the
           /etc/samba/smb.conf file parameter (name resolve order) will be used.

           The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast. Without this parameter or any entry
           in the name resolve order parameter of the /etc/samba/smb.conf file, the name
           resolution methods will be attempted in this order.

       -O|--socket-options=SOCKETOPTIONS
           TCP socket options to set on the client socket. See the socket options parameter in
           the /etc/samba/smb.conf manual page for the list of valid options.

       -m|--max-protocol=MAXPROTOCOL
           The value of the parameter (a string) is the highest protocol level that will be
           supported by the client.

           Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client max protocol
           parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.

       -n|--netbiosname=NETBIOSNAME
           This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses for itself. This
           is identical to setting the netbios name parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
           However, a command line setting will take precedence over settings in
           /etc/samba/smb.conf.

       --netbios-scope=SCOPE
           This specifies a NetBIOS scope that nmblookup will use to communicate with when
           generating NetBIOS names. For details on the use of NetBIOS scopes, see rfc1001.txt
           and rfc1002.txt. NetBIOS scopes are very rarely used, only set this parameter if you
           are the system administrator in charge of all the NetBIOS systems you communicate
           with.

       -W|--workgroup=WORKGROUP
           Set the SMB domain of the username. This overrides the default domain which is the
           domain defined in smb.conf. If the domain specified is the same as the servers NetBIOS
           name, it causes the client to log on using the servers local SAM (as opposed to the
           Domain SAM).

           Note that specifying this parameter here will override the workgroup parameter in the
           /etc/samba/smb.conf file.

       -r|--realm=REALM
           Set the realm for the domain.

           Note that specifying this parameter here will override the realm parameter in the
           /etc/samba/smb.conf file.

       -U|--user=[DOMAIN\]USERNAME[%PASSWORD]
           Sets the SMB username or username and password.

           If %PASSWORD is not specified, the user will be prompted. The client will first check
           the USER environment variable (which is also permitted to also contain the password
           separated by a %), then the LOGNAME variable (which is not permitted to contain a
           password) and if either exists, the value is used. If these environmental variables
           are not found, the username found in a Kerberos Credentials cache may be used.

           A third option is to use a credentials file which contains the plaintext of the
           username and password. This option is mainly provided for scripts where the admin does
           not wish to pass the credentials on the command line or via environment variables. If
           this method is used, make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access
           from unwanted users. See the -A for more details.

           Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or passing user-supplied values onto
           the command line. For security it is better to let the Samba client tool ask for the
           password if needed, or obtain the password once with kinit.

           While Samba will attempt to scrub the password from the process title (as seen in ps),
           this is after startup and so is subject to a race.

       -N|--no-pass
           If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal password prompt from the client to
           the user. This is useful when accessing a service that does not require a password.

           Unless a password is specified on the command line or this parameter is specified, the
           client will request a password.

           If a password is specified on the command line and this option is also defined the
           password on the command line will be silently ignored and no password will be used.

       --password
           Specify the password on the commandline.

           Be cautious about including passwords in scripts or passing user-supplied values onto
           the command line. For security it is better to let the Samba client tool ask for the
           password if needed, or obtain the password once with kinit.

           If --password is not specified, the tool will check the PASSWD environment variable,
           followed by PASSWD_FD which is expected to contain an open file descriptor (FD)
           number.

           Finally it will check PASSWD_FILE (containing a file path to be opened). The file
           should only contain the password. Make certain that the permissions on the file
           restrict access from unwanted users!

           While Samba will attempt to scrub the password from the process title (as seen in ps),
           this is after startup and so is subject to a race.

       --pw-nt-hash
           The supplied password is the NT hash.

       -A|--authentication-file=filename
           This option allows you to specify a file from which to read the username and password
           used in the connection. The format of the file is:

                                   username = <value>
                                   password = <value>
                                   domain   = <value>

           Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict access from unwanted users!

       -P|--machine-pass
           Use stored machine account password.

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

       --use-kerberos=desired|required|off
           This parameter determines whether Samba client tools will try to authenticate using
           Kerberos. For Kerberos authentication you need to use dns names instead of IP
           addresses when connecting to a service.

           Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client use kerberos
           parameter in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.

       --use-krb5-ccache=CCACHE
           Specifies the credential cache location for Kerberos authentication.

           This will set --use-kerberos=required too.

       --use-winbind-ccache
           Try to use the credential cache by winbind.

       --client-protection=sign|encrypt|off
           Sets the connection protection the client tool should use.

           Note that specifying this parameter here will override the client protection parameter
           in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.

           In case you need more fine grained control you can use:
           --option=clientsmbencrypt=OPTION, --option=clientipcsigning=OPTION,
           --option=clientsigning=OPTION.

QUOTA_SET_COMMAND

       The format of an the QUOTA_SET_COMMAND is an operation name followed by a set of
       parameters specific to that operation.

       To set user quotas for the user specified by -u or for the current username:

        UQLIM:<username>:<softlimit>/<hardlimit>

       To set the default quotas for a share:

        FSQLIM:<softlimit>/<hardlimit>

       To change the share quota settings:

        FSQFLAGS:QUOTA_ENABLED/DENY_DISK/LOG_SOFTLIMIT/LOG_HARD_LIMIT

       All limits are specified as a number of bytes.

EXIT STATUS

       The smbcquotas 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, smbcquotas returns an exit status of 0. If smbcquotas couldn't
       connect to the specified server, or when there was an error getting or setting the
       quota(s), an exit status of 1 is returned. If there was an error parsing any command line
       arguments, an exit status of 2 is returned.
