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 pro-
gram.
-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 prob-
lem. Levels above 3 are designed for use only by develop-
ers 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 pass-
word prompt from the client to the user. This is useful
when accessing a service that does not require a pass-
word.
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>

SMBCQUOTAS(1) USER COMMANDS SMBCQUOTAS(1)
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 vari-
able, 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 con-
tains 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 fol-
lowing:
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.
Last change: 3
SMBCQUOTAS(1) USER COMMANDS SMBCQUOTAS(1)
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.
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.
