DESCRIPTION
This daemon is part of the new Samba TNG suite.
wkssvcd imitates the Windows NT 'Workstation' service. Under Windows NT, the workstation service is responsible for redirecting requests over the network (for example, accessing a shared drive).
OPTIONS
- -d debuglevel
-
sets the debuglevel to an integer between 0 and 100. 0 is for no debugging and 100 is for reams and reams. To submit a bug report to the Samba Team, use debug level 100 (see BUGS.txt).
- -D
-
tells wkssvcd to become a daemon and detach from the current terminal. This should be used for the most part.
- -a
-
tells wkssvcd to append to it's log file rather than overwrite it. This is on by default.
- -p port
-
sets the port on which wkssvcd listens for incoming requests. Not used often.
- -o
-
tells wkssvcd to overwrite the log file each time it is restarted. This is useful for reporting specific problems to the Samba Team.
- -P
-
(unknown)
- -i scope
-
sets the NetBIOS scope. The NetBIOS scope is not used normally. To find out more about the NetBIOS scope, see RFCs 1001 and 1002.
- -s servicesfile
-
specifies the location of the services file. The default being /etc/services
- -l basename for log file
-
sets the basename of the log file. The default is log and .wkssvcd will be appended to the file name.

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