SYNOPSISsmbta-util
smbta-util [OPTIONS...]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
smbta-util is a tool to ease the configuration of the
vfs_smb_traffic_analyzer module regarding data encryption.
The user can generate a key, install a key (activating encryption), or
uninstall a key (deactivating encryption). Any operation that installs
a key will create a File containing the key. This file can be used by
smbta-tool on other machines to install the same key from the file.
OPTIONS-h
Show a short help text on the command line.
-f KEYFILE
Open an existing keyfile, read the key from the file, and install
the key, activating encryption.
-g KEYFILE
Generate a new random key, install the key, activate encryption,
and store the key into the file KEYFILE.
-u
Uninstall the key, deactivating encryption.
-s
Check if a key is installed.
-c KEYFILE
Create a KEYFILE from an installed key.

Source code for Samba is available in the SUNWsmbaS package.
Samba(7) delivers the set of four SMF(5) services as can be seen from
the following example:
$ svcs samba wins winbind swat
STATE STIME FMRI
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/samba:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/winbind:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/wins:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/swat:default
where the services are:
"samba"
runs the smbd daemon managing the CIFS sessions
"wins"
runs the nmbd daemon enabling the browsing (WINS)
"winbind"
runs the winbindd daemon making the domain idmap
"swat"
Samba Web Administration Tool is a service providing access to
browser-based Samba administration interface and on-line
documentation. The service runs on software loopback network
interface on port 901/tcp, i.e. opening "http://localhost:901/" in
browser will access the SWAT service on local machine.
Please note: SWAT uses HTTP Basic Authentication scheme where user name
and passwords are sent over the network in clear text. In the SWAT case
the user name is root. Transferring such sensitive data is advisable
only on the software loopback network interface or over secure
networks.
