smbrun - interface program between smbd and external pro-
grams
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
ssmmbbrruunn _s_h_e_l_l_-_c_o_m_m_a_n_d
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
This program is part of the Samba suite.
ssmmbbrruunn is a very small 'glue' program, which runs shell
commands for the ssmmbbdd daemon (see ssmmbbdd((88))))..
It first changes to the highest effective user and group
ID that it can, then runs the command line provided using
the system() call. This program is necessary to allow some
operating systems to run external programs as non-root.
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
_s_h_e_l_l_-_c_o_m_m_a_n_d
The shell command to execute.
The command should have a fully-qualified path.
EENNVVIIRROONNMMEENNTT VVAARRIIAABBLLEESS
The PATH variable set for the environment in which ssmmbbrruunn
is executed will affect what executables are located and
executed if a fully-qualified path is not given in the
command.
IINNSSTTAALLLLAATTIIOONN
The location of the server and its support files is a mat-
ter for individual system administrators. The following
are thus suggestions only.
It is recommended that the ssmmbbrruunn program be installed
under the /usr/local hierarchy, in a directory readable by
all, writeable only by root. The program should be exe-
cutable by all. The program should NOT be setuid or set-
gid!
VVEERRSSIIOONN
This man page is (mostly) correct for version 1.9.00 of
the Samba suite, plus some of the recent patches to it.
These notes will necessarily lag behind development of the
software, so it is possible that your version of the pro-
gram has extensions or parameter semantics that differ
from or are not covered by this man page. Please notify
these to the address below for rectification.

If smbrun cannot be located or cannot be executed by ssmmbbdd
then appropriate messages will be found in the smbd logs.
Other diagnostics are dependent on the shell-command being
run. It is advisable for your shell commands to issue
suitable diagnostics to aid trouble-shooting.
