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 program.
-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.
-d|--debuglevel=level
level is an integer from
0 to 10. The default value if this parameter is not
specified is 0.
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 problem. Levels above 3
are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE
amounts of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
Note that
specifying this parameter here will override the
smb.conf.5.html#
parameter in the smb.conf
file.
-V|--version
Prints
the program version number.
-s|--configfile
<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.
-l|--log-basename=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|--no-pass
If
specified, this parameter suppresses the normal password
prompt from the client to the user. This is useful when
accessing a service that does not require a
password.
Unless
a password is specified on the command line or this
parameter is specified, the client will request a
password.
If
a password is specified on the command line and this option
is also defined the password on the command line will be
silently ingnored and no password will be used.
-k|--kerberos
Try to
authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in an Active
Directory environment.
-C|--use-ccache
Try to
use the credentials cached by winbind.
-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>
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
variable, 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 contains 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.
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.
If the operation succeeded, smbcquotas
returns an exit status of 0. If smbcquotas couldnĀ“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.
quota set command
The format of an the QUOTA_SET_COMMAND is
an operation name followed by a set of parameters specific to
that operation.
To set user quotas for the user specified
by -u or for the current username:
UQLIM:<username>:<softlimit>/<hardlimit>
To set the default quotas for a
share:
FSQLIM:<softlimit>/<hardlimit>
To change the share quota settings:
FSQFLAGS:QUOTA_ENABLED/DENY_DISK/LOG_SOFTLIMIT/LOG_HARD_LIMIT
All limits are specified as a number of
bytes.

The
original Samba software and related utilities were created
by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team
as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux
kernel is developed.
