nsmb.conf -- configuration file for SMB requests
The nsmb.conf file contains information about the computers, users, and
shares or mount points for the SMB network protocol.
The configuration hierarchy is made up of several sections, each section
containing a few or several lines of parameters and their assigned values.
Each of these sections must begin with a section name enclosed
within square brackets, similar to:
[section_name]
The end of each section is marked by either the start of a new section,
or by the abrupt ending of the file, commonly referred to as the EOF.
Each section may contain zero or more parameters such as:
[section_name]
key=value
where key represents a parameter name, and value would be the parameter's
assigned value.
The SMB library uses the following information for section names:
A) [default]
B) [SERVER]
C) [SERVER:USER]
D) [SERVER:USER:SHARE]
Possible keywords may include:
Keyword Section Comment
A B C D
addr - + - - IP or IPX address of SMB server
charsets - + + + local:remote charset pair
nbns + + - - address of NetBIOS name server (WINS)
nbscope + + - - NetBIOS scope
nbtimeout + + - - timeout for NetBIOS name servers
password - - + + plain text password used to access the given
share
retry_count + + - - number of retries before connection is marked
as broken
timeout + + - - SMB request timeout
workgroup + + + + workgroup name
/etc/nsmb.conf The default remote mount-point configuration file.
What follows is a sample configuration file which may, or may not match
your environment:
# Configuration file for example.com
[default]
workgroup=SALES
# The 'FSERVER' is an NT server.
[FSERVER]
charsets=koi8-r:cp866
addr=fserv.example.com
All lines which begin with the `#' character are comments and will not be
parsed. The ``default'' section describes the default workgroup or
domain, in this case ``SALES''. The next section depicted here as
``FSERVER'', defines a server section and then assigns it a charset which
is only required when Cyrillic characters are not used. The hostname
value, ``fserv.example.com'', is also assigned in this section.
At the time of this writing, the IPX protocol remains unsupported.
Future FreeBSD releases are expected to support this.
