smbd(8) BSD System Manager's Manual smbd(8)NAMEsmbd — SMB server daemon
SYNOPSISsmbd [options]
DESCRIPTIONsmbd runs on a server machine to service SMB protocol requests from SMB
client machines.
OPTIONS-debug The service will log extensive debug information and may perform
extra diagnostic checks. In debug mode, smbd will not exit when
idle.
-help Prints a usage message and exits.
-ports list
The service will listen on each of the TCP ports specified in
the comma-separated list. This option is typically only used for
debugging, since smbd is normally launched by launchd(8) on port
445.
-stdout Causes smbd to print log messages to standard output instead of
the system log.
-no-symlinks
In normal operation, smbd will respond to client symlink
requests but will never follow symlinks itself. This flag causes
smbd to restrict client access to symlink operations and to
always follow symlinks. In this case, clients will not be aware
that symlinks are in use because they will always be directed to
the symlink target.
