29.Dt NSMB.CONF 5
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm nsmb.conf
33.Nd configuration file for
34.Tn SMB
35requests
36.Sh DESCRIPTION
37The
38.Nm
39file contains information about the computers, users, and shares
40or mount points for the
41.Tn SMB
42network protocol.
43.Pp
44The configuration files are loaded in the following order:
45.Pp
46.Bl -enum -offset indent -width "" -compact
47.It
48.Pa ~/.nsmbrc
49.It
50.Pa /etc/nsmb.conf
51.El
52.Pp
53As a result,
54.Pa /etc/nsmb.conf
55settings
56override those in
57.Pa ~/.nsmbrc .
58.Pp
59The configuration hierarchy is made up of several sections,
60each section containing a few or several lines of parameters
61and their assigned values.
62Each of these sections must begin with a section name enclosed within
63square brackets, similar to:
64.Pp
65.D1 Bq Ar section_name
66.Pp
67The end of each section is marked by either the start of a new section,
68or by the abrupt ending of the file, commonly referred to as the
69.Tn EOF .
70Each section may contain zero or more parameters such as:
71.Pp
72.D1 Bq Ar section_name
73.D1 Ar key Ns = Ns Ar value
74.Pp
75where
76.Ar key
77represents a parameter name, and
78.Ar value
79would be the parameter's assigned value.
80.Pp
81The
82.Tn SMB
83library uses the following information for section names:
84.Pp
85.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
86.It Ic A)
87.Bq Li default
88.It Ic B)
89.Bq Ar SERVER
90.It Ic C)
91.Bq Ar SERVER : Ns Ar USER
92.It Ic D)
93.Op Ar SERVER : Ns Ar USER : Ns Ar SHARE
94.El
95.Pp
96Possible keywords may include:
97.Bl -column ".Va retry_count" ".Sy Section"
98.It Sy "Keyword	Section	Comment"
99.It Sy "	A B C D"
100.It Va addr        Ta "- + - -" Ta "IP address of SMB server"
101.It Va charsets    Ta "- + + +" Ta "local:remote charset pair"
102.It Va nbns        Ta "+ + - -" Ta "address of NetBIOS name server (WINS)"
103.It Va nbscope     Ta "+ + - -" Ta "NetBIOS scope"
104.It Va nbtimeout   Ta "+ + - -" Ta "timeout for NetBIOS name servers"
105.It Va password    Ta "- - + +" Ta "plain text or simple encrypted password used to access the given share"
106.It Va retry_count Ta "+ + - -" Ta "number of retries before connection is marked as broken"
107.It Va timeout     Ta "+ + - -" Ta "SMB request timeout"
108.It Va workgroup   Ta "+ + + +" Ta "workgroup name"
109.El
110.Sh FILES
111.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /etc/nsmb.conf"
112.It Pa /etc/nsmb.conf
113The default remote mount-point configuration file.
114.It Pa ~/.nsmbrc
115The user specific remote mount-point configuration file.
116.El
117.Sh EXAMPLES
118What follows is a sample configuration file which may,
119or may not match your environment:
120.Bd -literal -offset indent
121# Configuration file for example.com
122[default]
123workgroup=SALES
124# The 'FSERVER' is an NT server.
125[FSERVER]
126charsets=koi8-r:cp866
127addr=fserv.example.com
128# User specific data for FSERVER
129[FSERVER:MYUSER]
130password=$$16144562c293a0314e6e1
131.Ed
132.Pp
133All lines which begin with the
134.Ql #
135character are comments and will not be parsed.
136The
137.Dq Li default
138section describes the default workgroup or domain, in this case
139.Dq Li SALES .
140The next section depicted here as
141.Dq Li FSERVER ,
142defines a server section and then assigns it a charset which is only
143required when Cyrillic characters are not used.
144The hostname value,
145.Dq Li fserv.example.com ,
146is also assigned in this section.
147.Dq Li FSERVER:USER ,
148defines the user settings and is useful for saving the password used
149during a specific connection.
150The password may be plaintext or obfuscated using simple encryption.
151The simple encrypted password starts with the `$$1' symbols.
152Warning: the encryption function is very weak and intended only to hide
153clear text passwords.
154If the use of simple encryption is desired, the following command may be
155used on a password:
156.Bd -literal -offset indent
157smbutil crypt
