NAME
smbd - CIFS server daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/smbsrv/smbdDESCRIPTION
The
smbd daemon handles
CIFS/
SMB requests from
CIFS clients, such as
Windows clients. Only processes with
{PRIV_SYS_SMB} and sufficient
privileges to write the
/var/run directory can run this daemon.
The
smbd daemon is automatically invoked by using the
sharemgr command
over all available transports. By default,
smbd starts over the NetBIOS-
Over-TCP (
NBT) and
TCP transports.
When
smbd is started over
NBT, the following services are started:
o The NetBIOS name service is started on
UDP port 137.
o The NetBIOS datagram service is started on
UDP port 138.
o The NetBIOS session service is started on
TCP port 139.
When the
smbd daemon is started over TCP, the CIFS service is started on
TCP port 445.
Only one instance of
smbd may be running at a time.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Daemon exited cleanly.
