DESCRIPTION

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

       smbtree is a smb browser program in text mode. It is similar to the "Network Neighborhood"
       found on Windows computers. It prints a tree with all the known domains, the servers in
       those domains and the shares on the servers.

OPTIONS

       -D|--domains
           Only print a list of all the domains known on broadcast or by the master browser

       -S|--servers
           Only print a list of all the domains and servers responding on broadcast or known by
           the master browser.

       -?|--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.

       -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.
