nsmb.conf(5)

NAME

nsmb.conf - configuration file for SMB requests

DESCRIPTION

The nsmb.conf file contains information about the computers,
users, and
shares or mount points for the SMB network protocol.
The configuration hierarchy is made up of several sections,
each section
containing a few or several lines of parameters and their
assigned values. Each of these sections must begin with a section name
enclosed
within square brackets, similar to:

[section_name]
The end of each section is marked by either the start of a
new section,
or by the abrupt ending of the file, commonly referred to as
the EOF.
Each section may contain zero or more parameters such as:

[section_name]
key=value
where key represents a parameter name, and value would be
the parameter's
assigned value.
The SMB library uses the following information for section
names:
A) [default]
B) [SERVER]
C) [SERVER:USER]
D) [SERVER:USER:SHARE]
Possible keywords may include:
Keyword Section Comment
A B C D
addr - + - - IP or IPX address of SMB
server
charsets - + + + local:remote charset pair nbns + + - - address of NetBIOS name
server (WINS)
nbscope + + - - NetBIOS scope
nbtimeout + + - - timeout for NetBIOS name
servers
password - - + + plain text password used
to access the
given share
retry_count + + - - number of retries before
connection is
marked as broken
timeout + + - - SMB request timeout
workgroup + + + + workgroup name

FILES

/etc/nsmb.conf The default remote mount-point configu
ration file.

EXAMPLES

What follows is a sample configuration file which may, or
may not match
your environment:

# Configuration file for example.com
[default]
workgroup=SALES
# The 'FSERVER' is an NT server.
[FSERVER]
charsets=koi8-r:cp866
addr=fserv.example.com
All lines which begin with the `#' character are comments
and will not be
parsed. The ``default'' section describes the default work
group or
domain, in this case ``SALES''. The next section depicted
here as
``FSERVER'', defines a server section and then assigns it a
charset which
is only required when Cyrillic characters are not used. The
hostname
value, ``fserv.example.com'', is also assigned in this sec
tion.

COMPATIBILITY

At the time of this writing, the IPX protocol remains unsup
ported.
Future FreeBSD releases are expected to support this.
