Lists (ACLs) on SMB file shares. </p></div><div class="refsect1" title="OPTIONS"><a name="id265727"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2><p>The following options are available to the <code class="literal">smbcacls</code> program.
The format of ACLs is described in the section ACL FORMAT </p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">-a|--add acls</span></dt><dd><p>Add the ACLs specified to the ACL list. Existing
access control entries are unchanged. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-M|--modify acls</span></dt><dd><p>Modify the mask value (permissions) for the ACLs
specified on the command line. An error will be printed for each
ACL specified that was not already present in the ACL list
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-D|--delete acls</span></dt><dd><p>Delete any ACLs specified on the command line.
An error will be printed for each ACL specified that was not
already present in the ACL list. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-S|--set acls</span></dt><dd><p>This command sets the ACLs on the file with
only the ones specified on the command line. All other ACLs are
erased. Note that the ACL specified must contain at least a revision,
type, owner and group for the call to succeed. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-C|--chown name</span></dt><dd><p>The owner of a file or directory can be changed
to the name given using the <em class="parameter"><code>-C</code></em> option.
The name can be a sid in the form S-1-x-y-z or a name resolved
against the server specified in the first argument. </p><p>This command is a shortcut for -M OWNER:name.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-G|--chgrp name</span></dt><dd><p>The group owner of a file or directory can
be changed to the name given using the <em class="parameter"><code>-G</code></em>
option. The name can be a sid in the form S-1-x-y-z or a name
resolved against the server specified n the first argument.
</p><p>This command is a shortcut for -M GROUP:name.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-I|--inherit allow|remove|copy</span></dt><dd><p>Set or unset the windows "Allow inheritable
permissions" check box using the <em class="parameter"><code>-I</code></em>
option. To set the check box pass allow. To unset the check
box pass either remove or copy. Remove will remove all
inherited acls. Copy will copy all the inherited acls.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">--numeric</span></dt><dd><p>This option displays all ACL information in numeric
format. The default is to convert SIDs to names and ACE types
and masks to a readable string format. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-t|--test-args</span></dt><dd><p>
Don't actually do anything, only validate the correctness of
the arguments.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-h|--help</span></dt><dd><p>Print a summary of command line options.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-d|--debuglevel=level</span></dt><dd><p><em class="replaceable"><code>level</code></em> is an integer
from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is
not specified is 0.</p><p>The higher this value, the more detail will be
logged to the log files about the activities of the
server. At level 0, only critical errors and serious
warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for
day-to-day running - it generates a small amount of
information about operations carried out.</p><p>Levels above 1 will generate considerable
amounts of log data, and should only be used when
investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are designed for
use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log
data, most of which is extremely cryptic.</p><p>Note that specifying this parameter here will
override the <a class="link" href="smb.conf.5.html#" target="_top"></a> parameter
in the <code class="filename">smb.conf</code> file.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-V|--version</span></dt><dd><p>Prints the program version number.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-s|--configfile <configuration file></span></dt><dd><p>The file specified contains the
configuration details required by the server. The
information in this file includes server-specific
information such as what printcap file to use, as well
as descriptions of all the services that the server is
to provide. See <code class="filename">smb.conf</code> for more information.
The default configuration file name is determined at
compile time.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-l|--log-basename=logdirectory</span></dt><dd><p>Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension
<code class="constant">".progname"</code> will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient,
log.smbd, etc...). The log file is never removed by the client.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-N|--no-pass</span></dt><dd><p>If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal
password prompt from the client to the user. This is useful when
accessing a service that does not require a password. </p><p>Unless a password is specified on the command line or
this parameter is specified, the client will request a
password.</p><p>If a password is specified on the command line and this
option is also defined the password on the command line will
be silently ingnored and no password will be used.</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-k|--kerberos</span></dt><dd><p>
Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in
an Active Directory environment.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-C|--use-ccache</span></dt><dd><p>
Try to use the credentials cached by winbind.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term">-A|--authentication-file=filename</span></dt><dd><p>This option allows
you to specify a file from which to read the username and
password used in the connection. The format of the file is
</p><pre class="programlisting">
username = <value>
password = <value>
domain = <value>
</pre><p>Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict
access from unwanted users. </p></dd><dt><span class="term">-U|--user=username[%password]</span></dt><dd><p>Sets the SMB username or username and password. </p><p>If %password is not specified, the user will be prompted. The
client will first check the <code class="envar">USER</code> environment variable, then the
<code class="envar">LOGNAME</code> variable and if either exists, the
string is uppercased. If these environmental variables are not
found, the username <code class="constant">GUEST</code> is used. </p><p>A third option is to use a credentials file which
contains the plaintext of the username and password. This
option is mainly provided for scripts where the admin does not
wish to pass the credentials on the command line or via environment
variables. If this method is used, make certain that the permissions
on the file restrict access from unwanted users. See the
<em class="parameter"><code>-A</code></em> for more details. </p><p>Be cautious about including passwords in scripts. Also, on
many systems the command line of a running process may be seen
via the <code class="literal">ps</code> command. To be safe always allow
<code class="literal">rpcclient</code> to prompt for a password and type
it in directly. </p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" title="ACL FORMAT"><a name="id307265"></a><h2>ACL FORMAT</h2><p>The format of an ACL is one or more ACL entries separated by
either commas or newlines. An ACL entry is one of the following: </p><pre class="programlisting">
REVISION:<revision number>
OWNER:<sid or name>
GROUP:<sid or name>
ACL:<sid or name>:<type>/<flags>/<mask>
</pre><p>The revision of the ACL specifies the internal Windows
NT ACL revision for the security descriptor.
If not specified it defaults to 1. Using values other than 1 may
cause strange behaviour. </p><p>The owner and group specify the owner and group sids for the
object. If a SID in the format S-1-x-y-z is specified this is used,
otherwise the name specified is resolved using the server on which
the file or directory resides. </p><p>ACLs specify permissions granted to the SID. This SID again
can be specified in S-1-x-y-z format or as a name in which case
it is resolved against the server on which the file or directory
resides. The type, flags and mask values determine the type of
access granted to the SID. </p><p>The type can be either ALLOWED or DENIED to allow/deny access
to the SID. The flags values are generally zero for file ACLs and
either 9 or 2 for directory ACLs. Some common flags are: </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p><code class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_OBJECT_INHERIT 0x1</code></p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_CONTAINER_INHERIT 0x2</code></p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_NO_PROPAGATE_INHERIT 0x4</code></p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="constant">#define SEC_ACE_FLAG_INHERIT_ONLY 0x8</code></p></li></ul></div><p>At present flags can only be specified as decimal or
hexadecimal values.</p><p>The mask is a value which expresses the access right
granted to the SID. It can be given as a decimal or hexadecimal value,
or by using one of the following text strings which map to the NT
file permissions of the same name. </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p><span class="emphasis"><em>R</em></span> - Allow read access </p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="emphasis"><em>W</em></span> - Allow write access</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="emphasis"><em>X</em></span> - Execute permission on the object</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="emphasis"><em>D</em></span> - Delete the object</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="emphasis"><em>P</em></span> - Change permissions</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="emphasis"><em>O</em></span> - Take ownership</p></li></ul></div><p>The following combined permissions can be specified:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem"><p><span class="emphasis"><em>READ</em></span> - Equivalent to 'RX'
permissions</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="emphasis"><em>CHANGE</em></span> - Equivalent to 'RXWD' permissions
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="emphasis"><em>FULL</em></span> - Equivalent to 'RWXDPO'
permissions</p></li></ul></div></div><div class="refsect1" title="EXIT STATUS"><a name="id307406"></a><h2>EXIT STATUS</h2><p>The <code class="literal">smbcacls</code> program sets the exit status
depending on the success or otherwise of the operations performed.
The exit status may be one of the following values. </p><p>If the operation succeeded, smbcacls returns and exit
status of 0. If <code class="literal">smbcacls</code> couldn't connect to the specified server,
or there was an error getting or setting the ACLs, an exit status
of 1 is returned. If there was an error parsing any command line
arguments, an exit status of 2 is returned. </p></div><div class="refsect1" title="VERSION"><a name="id307433"></a><h2>VERSION</h2><p>This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite.</p></div><div class="refsect1" title="AUTHOR"><a name="id307443"></a><h2>AUTHOR</h2><p>The original Samba software and related utilities
were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
