NSMB.CONF(5) FreeBSD File Formats Manual NSMB.CONF(5)
NAME
nsmb.conf - configuration file for server message block (SMB1/CIFS)
requests
DESCRIPTION
The nsmb.conf file contains information about the computers, users, and
shares or mount points for the SMB network protocol.
The configuration files are loaded in the following order:
1. ~/.nsmbrc
2. /etc/nsmb.conf
As a result, /etc/nsmb.conf settings override those in ~/.nsmbrc.
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 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 or simple encrypted 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
FILES
/etc/nsmb.conf The default remote mount-point configuration file.
~/.nsmbrc The user specific remote mount-point configuration file.
EXAMPLES
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
# User specific data for FSERVER
[FSERVER:MYUSER]
password=$$16144562c293a0314e6e1
All lines which begin with the `#' character are comments and will not be
parsed. The "default" section describes the default workgroup or domain,
in this case "SALES". The next section depicted here as "FSERVER",
defines a server section and then assigns it a charset which is only
required when Cyrillic characters are not used. The hostname value,
"fserv.example.com", is also assigned in this section. "FSERVER:USER",
defines the user settings and is useful for saving the password used
during a specific connection. The password may be plaintext or
obfuscated using simple encryption. The simple encrypted password starts
with the `$$1' symbols. Warning: the encryption function is very weak
and intended only to hide clear text passwords. If the use of simple
encryption is desired, the following command may be used on a password:
smbutil crypt
