Name
smbcquotas — Set or get QUOTAs of NTFS 5 shares
Synopsis
smbcquotas {//server/share} [-u user] [-L] [-F] [-S QUOTA_SET_COMMAND] [-n] [-t] [-v] [-d debuglevel] [-s configfile] [-l logdir] [-V] [-U username] [-N] [-k] [-A]
DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
The smbcquotas program manipulates NT Quotas on SMB file shares.
OPTIONS
The following options are available to the smbcquotas program.
- -u user
Specifies the user of whom the quotas are get or set.
By default the current user's username will be used.
- -L
Lists all quota records of the share.
- -F
Show the share quota status and default limits.
- -S QUOTA_SET_COMMAND
This command sets/modifies quotas for a user or on the share,
depending on the QUOTA_SET_COMMAND parameter which is described later.
- -n
This option displays all QUOTA information in numeric
format. The default is to convert SIDs to names and QUOTA limits
to a readable string format.
- -t
Don't actually do anything, only validate the correctness of the arguments.
- -v
Be verbose.
- -h|--help
Print a summary of command line options.
- -V
Prints the program version number.
- -s <configuration file>
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 smb.conf for more information.
The default configuration file name is determined at
compile time.
- -d|--debuglevel=level
level is an integer
from 0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is
not specified is zero.
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.
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.
Note that specifying this parameter here will
override the parameter
in the smb.conf file.
- -l|--logfile=logdirectory
Base directory name for log/debug files. The extension
".progname" will be appended (e.g. log.smbclient,
log.smbd, etc...). The log file is never removed by the client.
- -N
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.
Unless a password is specified on the command line or
this parameter is specified, the client will request a
password.
- -k
Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in
an Active Directory environment.
- -A|--authentication-file=filename
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
username = <value>
password = <value>
domain = <value>
Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict
access from unwanted users.
- -U|--user=username[%password]
Sets the SMB username or username and password.
If %password is not specified, the user will be prompted. The
client will first check the USER environment variable, then the
LOGNAME variable and if either exists, the
string is uppercased. If these environmental variables are not
found, the username GUEST is used.
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
-A for more details.
Be cautious about including passwords in scripts. Also, on
many systems the command line of a running process may be seen
via the ps command. To be safe always allow
rpcclient to prompt for a password and type
it in directly.
QUOTA_SET_COMAND
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:
for setting user quotas for the user specified by -u or the current username:
UQLIM:<username>:<softlimit>/<hardlimit>
for setting the default quotas for a share:
FSQLIM:<softlimit>/<hardlimit>
for changing the share quota settings:
FSQFLAGS:QUOTA_ENABLED/DENY_DISK/LOG_SOFTLIMIT/LOG_HARD_LIMIT
EXIT STATUS
The smbcquotas 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.
If the operation succeeded, smbcquotas returns an exit
status of 0. If smbcquotas couldn't connect to the specified server,
or when there was an error getting or setting the quota(s), an exit status
of 1 is returned. If there was an error parsing any command line
arguments, an exit status of 2 is returned.
