GENTEST(1)
NAME
gentest - Run random generic SMB operations against two SMB servers and
show the differences in behavior
SYNOPSIS
gentest {//server1/share1} {//server2/share2} {-U user%pass}
{-U user%pass} [-s seed] [-o numops] [-a] [-A] [-i FILE] [-O]
[-S FILE] [-L] [-F] [-C] [-X]
DESCRIPTION
gentest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour between SMB
servers. It will run a random set of generic operations against
//server1/share1 and then the same random set against //server2/share2
and display the differences in the responses it gets.
This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour
between Samba and Windows servers.
OPTIONS
- -U user%pass
- Specify the user and password to use when logging on on the shares. This parameter is mandatory and has to be specified twice.
- -s seed
- Seed the random number generator with the specified value.
- -o numops
- Set the number of operations to perform.
- -a
- Print the operations that are performed.
- -A
- Backtrack to find minimal number of operations required to make the response to a certain call differ.
- -i FILE
- Specify a file containing the names of fields that have to be
ignored (such as time fields). See below for a description of the
file format. - -O
- Enable oplocks.
- -S FILE
- Set preset seeds file. The default is gentest_seeds.dat.
- -L
- Use preset seeds
- -F
- Fast reconnect (just close files)
- -C
- Continuous analysis mode
- -X
- Analyse even when the test succeeded.
