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.It Pa ~/nsmb.conf
100The user specific remote mount-point configuration file.
101.El
102.Sh EXAMPLES
103What follows is a sample configuration file which may,
104or may not match your environment:
105.Bd -literal -offset indent
106# Configuration file for example.com
107[default]
108workgroup=SALES
109# The 'FSERVER' is an NT server.
110[FSERVER]
111charsets=koi8-r:cp866
112addr=fserv.example.com
113# User specific data for FSERVER
114[FSERVER:MYUSER]
115password=$$16144562c293a0314e6e1
116.Ed
117.Pp
118All lines which begin with the
119.Ql #
120character are comments and will not be parsed.
121The
122.Dq Li default
123section describes the default workgroup or domain, in this case
124.Dq Li SALES .
125The next section depicted here as
126.Dq Li FSERVER ,
127defines a server section and then assigns it a charset which is only
128required when Cyrillic characters are not used.
129The hostname value,
130.Dq Li fserv.example.com ,
131is also assigned in this section.
132.Dq Li FSERVER:USER ,
133defines the user settings and is useful for saving the password used
134during a specific connection.
135The password may be plaintext or obfuscated using simple encryption.
136The simple encrypted password starts with the `$$1' symbols.
137Warning: the encryption function is very weak and intended only to hide
138clear text passwords.
139If the use of simple encryption is desired, the following command may be
140used on a password:
141.Bd -literal -offset indent
142smbutil crypt
143.Ed
144.Sh COMPATIBILITY
145At the time of this writing, the
146.Tn IPX
147protocol remains unsupported.
148Future
149.Fx
150releases are expected to support this.
