NAME

srvsvcd - NT 'Server' service

SYNOPSIS

srvsvcd [-d debuglevel] [-D] [-a] [-p port] [-o] [-P] [-i scope] [-s servicesfile] [-l basename for log file]

DESCRIPTION

This daemon is part of the new Samba TNG suite.

srvsvcd provides the Windows NT server functionality. This functionality includes services such as File Sharing and information collected by the Windows NT 'Server Manager' tool.

This daemon is needed for just about any Samba implementation.

OPTIONS

-d debuglevel
sets the debuglevel to an integer between 0 and 100. 0 is for no debugging and 100 is for reams and reams. To submit a bug report to the Samba Team, use debug level 100 (see BUGS.txt).

-D
tells srvsvcd to become a daemon and detach from the current terminal. This should be used for the most part.

-a
tells srvsvcd to append to it's log file rather than overwrite it. This is on by default.

-p port
sets the port on which srvsvcd listens for incoming requests. Not used often.

-o
tells srvsvcd to overwrite the log file each time it is restarted. This is useful for reporting specific problems to the Samba Team.

-P
(unknown)

-i scope
sets the NetBIOS scope. The NetBIOS scope is not used normally. To find out more about the NetBIOS scope, see RFCs 1001 and 1002.

-s servicesfile
specifies the location of the services file. The default being /etc/services

-l basename for log file
sets the basename of the log file. The default is log and .srvsvcd will be appended to the file name.
