testparm - check an smbd configuration file for internal
correctness
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
tteessttppaarrmm [ _c_o_n_f_i_g_f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e [ _h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e _h_o_s_t_I_P ] ]
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
This program is part of the Samba suite.
tteessttppaarrmm is a very simple test program to check an ssmmbbdd
configuration file for internal correctness. If this pro-
gram reports no problems, you can use the configuration
file with confidence that smbd will successfully load the
configuration file.
Note that this is NOT a guarantee that the services speci-
fied in the configuration file will be available or will
operate as expected.
If the optional host name and host IP address are speci-
fied on the command line, this test program will run
through the service entries reporting whether the speci-
fied host has access to each service.
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
_c_o_n_f_i_g_f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e
This is the name of the configuration file to check.
_h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e
This is the name of the host to check access on.
If this parameter is supplied, the _h_o_s_t_I_P parameter
must also be supplied, or strange things may happen.
_h_o_s_t_I_P
This is the IP number of the host specified in the pre-
vious parameter.
This number must be supplied if the _h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e parameter
is supplied, or strange things may happen.
FFIILLEESS
ssmmbb..ccoonnff
This is usually the name of the configuration file used
by smbd.

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 tteessttppaarrmm program be installed
under the /usr/local hierarchy, in a directory readable by
all, writeable only by root. The program itself should be
executable by all. The program should NOT be setuid or
setgid!
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.

DDIIAAGGNNOOSSTTIICCSS
The program will issue a message saying whether the con-
figuration file loaded OK or not. This message may be pre-
ceded by errors and warnings if the file did not load. If
the file was loaded OK, the program then dumps all known
service details to stdout.
If a host name is specified but no host IP number, all
bets are off.
Other messages are self-explanatory.
BBUUGGSS
None known.
CCRREEDDIITTSS
The original Samba software and related utilities were
created by Andrew Tridgell (samba-bugs@anu.edu.au). Andrew
is also the Keeper of the Source for this project.
The testparm program and this man page were written by
Karl Auer (Karl.Auer@anu.edu.au)
