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