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