NAME

       rpcclient - tool for executing client side MS-RPC functions


SYNOPSIS

       rpcclient [-A authfile] [-c <command string>] [-d debuglevel] [-h]
		 [-l logdir] [-N] [-s <smb config file>]
		 [-U username[%password]] [-W workgroup] [-N]
		 [-I destinationIP] {server}



DESCRIPTION

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


       rpcclient is a utility initially developed to test MS-RPC functionality
       in  Samba  itself.  It  has undergone several stages of development and
       stability. Many system administrators have now written  scripts	around
       it to manage Windows NT clients from their UNIX workstation.



OPTIONS

       server NetBIOS  name  of  Server to which to connect. The server can be
	      any SMB/CIFS server. The name is resolved using the name resolve
	      order line from smb.conf(5).


       -c|--command='command string'
	      execute semicolon separated commands (listed below))


       -I IP-address
	      IP address is the address of the server to connect to. It should
	      be specified in standard "a.b.c.d" notation.

	      Normally the client would attempt to  locate  a  named  SMB/CIFS
	      server  by  looking it up via the NetBIOS name resolution mecha-
	      nism described above in the name resolve order parameter	above.
	      Using  this  parameter  will force the client to assume that the
	      server is on the machine with the specified IP address  and  the
	      NetBIOS  name  component of the resource being connected to will
	      be ignored.

	      There is no default for this parameter. If not supplied, it will
	      be determined automatically by the client as described above.


       -V     Prints the program version number.


       -s <configuration file>
	      The  file  specified contains the configuration details required
	      by the server. The information in this file includes server-spe-
	      cific  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.


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

	      The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log
	      files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only crit-
	      ical  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   pa-
	      rameter in the smb.conf file.


       -l|--logfile=logdirectory
	      Base  directory  name for log/debug files. The extension ".prog-
	      name" will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient,  log.smbd,  etc...).
	      The log file is never removed by the client.


       -N     If  specified,  this  parameter  suppresses  the normal password
	      prompt from the client to the user. This is useful when  access-
	      ing a service that does not require a password.

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


       -k     Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in an Active  Di-
	      rectory environment.


       -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.


       -U|--user=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, then the
	      LOGNAME variable and if either exists, the string is uppercased.
	      If  these  environmental	variables  are not found, the username
	      GUEST is 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. Also, on  many
	      systems  the  command  line of a running process may be seen via
	      the ps command. To be safe always allow rpcclient to prompt  for
	      a password and type it in directly.


       -n <primary NetBIOS name>
	      This  option  allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba
	      uses for itself. This is identical to setting the  parameter  in
	      the  smb.conf  file.  However,  a command line setting will take
	      precedence over settings in smb.conf.


       -i <scope>
	      This specifies a NetBIOS scope that nmblookup will use to commu-
	      nicate  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=domain
	      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).


       -O socket options
	      TCP  socket  options to set on the client socket. See the socket
	      options parameter in the smb.conf manual page for  the  list  of
	      valid options.


       -h|--help
	      Print a summary of command line options.

   SPOOLSS
       adddriver <arch> <config> [<version>]
	      Execute  an AddPrinterDriver() RPC to install the printer driver
	      information on the server. Note that the driver files should al-
	      ready  exist  in the directory returned bygetdriverdir. Possible
	      values forarch are the same as those for the  getdriverdir  com-
	      mand. The config parameter is defined as follows:



	      Long Printer Name:\
	      Driver File Name:\
	      Data File Name:\
	      Config File Name:\
	      Help File Name:\
	      Language Monitor Name:\
	      Default Data Type:\
	      Comma Separated list of Files


	      Any empty fields should be enter as the string "NULL".

	      Samba  does  not	need  to support the concept of Print Monitors
	      since these only apply to local printers whose driver  can  make
	      use  of  a  bi-directional  link	for  communication. This field
	      should be "NULL". On a remote NT print server, the Print Monitor
	      for a driver must already be installed prior to adding the driv-
	      er or else the RPC will fail.

	      The version parameter lets you specify the printer  driver  ver-
	      sion  number.  If  omitted,  the	default driver version for the
	      specified architecture will be used. This option can be used  to
	      upload Windows 2000 (version 3) printer drivers.


       addprinter <printername> <sharename> <drivername> <port>
	      Add  a  printer on the remote server. This printer will be auto-
	      matically shared. Be aware that the printer driver must  already
	      be installed on the server (see adddriver) and the portmust be a
	      valid port name (seeenumports.


       deldriver
	      Delete the specified printer driver for all architectures.  This
	      does  not  delete  the actual driver files from the server, only
	      the entry from the server's list of drivers.


       deldriverex <driver> [architecture] [version]
	      Delete the specified printer driver including driver files.  You
	      can  limit this action to a specific architecture and a specific
	      version. If no architecure is given, all driver  files  of  that
	      driver will be deleted.


       enumdata
	      Enumerate all printer setting data stored on the server. On Win-
	      dows NT clients, these values are stored in the registry,  while
	      Samba  servers store them in the printers TDB. This command cor-
	      responds to the MS Platform  SDK	GetPrinterData()  function  (*
	      This command is currently unimplemented).


       enumdataex
	      Enumerate printer data for a key


       enumjobs <printer>
	      List the jobs and status of a given printer. This command corre-
	      sponds to the MS Platform SDK EnumJobs() function


       enumkey
	      Enumerate printer keys


       enumports [level]
	      Executes an EnumPorts() call using  the  specified  info	level.
	      Currently only info levels 1 and 2 are supported.


       enumdrivers [level]
	      Execute an EnumPrinterDrivers() call. This lists the various in-
	      stalled printer drivers for all architectures. Refer to  the  MS
	      Platform SDK documentation for more details of the various flags
	      and calling options. Currently supported info levels are	1,  2,
	      and 3.


       enumprinters [level]
	      Execute an EnumPrinters() call. This lists the various installed
	      and share printers. Refer to the MS Platform  SDK  documentation
	      for  more details of the various flags and calling options. Cur-
	      rently supported info levels are 1, 2 and 5.


       getdata <printername> <valuename;>
	      Retrieve the data for a given printer setting. See the  enumdata
	      command  for  more  information. This command corresponds to the
	      GetPrinterData() MS Platform SDK function.


       getdataex
	      Get printer driver data with keyname


       getdriver <printername>
	      Retrieve the printer driver information (such  as  driver  file,
	      config  file,  dependent	files,	etc...) for the given printer.
	      This command corresponds to the GetPrinterDriver()  MS  Platform
	      SDK function. Currently info level 1, 2, and 3 are supported.


       getdriverdir <arch>
	      Execute  a  GetPrinterDriverDirectory()  RPC to retrieve the SMB
	      share name and subdirectory for storing printer driver files for
	      a given architecture. Possible values for arch are "Windows 4.0"
	      (for Windows 95/98), "Windows NT	x86",  "Windows  NT  PowerPC",
	      "Windows Alpha_AXP", and "Windows NT R4000".


       getprinter <printername>
	      Retrieve	the  current  printer information. This command corre-
	      sponds to the GetPrinter() MS Platform SDK function.


       getprintprocdir
	      Get print processor directory


       openprinter <printername>
	      Execute an OpenPrinterEx() and ClosePrinter() RPC against a giv-
	      en printer.


       setdriver <printername> <drivername>
	      Execute  a SetPrinter() command to update the printer driver as-
	      sociated with an installed printer. The printer driver must  al-
	      ready be correctly installed on the print server.

	      See  also the enumprinters andenumdrivers commands for obtaining
	      a list of of installed printers and drivers.

BUGS

       rpcclient is designed as a developer testing tool and may not be robust
       in certain areas (such as command line parsing). It has been  known  to
       generate a core dump upon failures when invalid parameters where passed
       to the interpreter.


       From Luke Leighton's original rpcclient man page:


       WARNING! The MSRPC over SMB code has been developed from examining Net-
       work  traces.  No documentation is available from the original creators
       (Microsoft) on how MSRPC over SMB works, or how	the  individual  MSRPC
       services  work.	Microsoft's  implementation of these services has been
       demonstrated (and reported) to be... a bit flaky in places.


       The development of Samba's implementation is also a bit rough,  and  as
       more  of the services are understood, it can even result in versions of
       smbd(8) and rpcclient(1) that are incompatible  for  some  commands  or
       services.  Additionally,  the  developers  are  sending	reports to Mi-
       crosoft, and problems found or reported to Microsoft are fixed in  Ser-
       vice Packs, which may result in incompatibilities.



VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.



AUTHOR

       The  original  Samba software and related utilities were created by An-
       drew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the  Samba  Team  as  an  Open
       Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.


       The  original  rpcclient  man  page was written by Matthew Geddes, Luke
       Kenneth Casson Leighton, and rewritten by Gerald Carter. The conversion
       to  DocBook  for Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to
       DocBook XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.
