NAME
       net - Tool for administration of Samba and remote CIFS servers.

SYNOPSIS
       net {<ads|rap|rpc>} [-h|--help] [-w|--workgroup workgroup]
	[-W|--myworkgroup myworkgroup] [-U|--user user]
	[-I|--ipaddress ip-address] [-p|--port port] [-n myname] [-s conffile]
	[-S|--server server] [-l|--long] [-v|--verbose] [-f|--force]
	[-P|--machine-pass] [-d debuglevel] [-V] [--request-timeout seconds]
	[-t|--timeout seconds] [-i|--stdin] [--tallocreport]

DESCRIPTION
       This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.

       The Samba net utility is meant to work just like the net utility
       available for windows and DOS. The first argument should be used to
       specify the protocol to use when executing a certain command. ADS is
       used for ActiveDirectory, RAP is using for old (Win9x/NT3) clients and
       RPC can be used for NT4 and Windows 2000. If this argument is omitted,
       net will try to determine it automatically. Not all commands are
       available on all protocols.

OPTIONS
       -?|--help
	   Print a summary of command line options.

       -k|--kerberos
	   Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in an Active
	   Directory environment.

       -w|--workgroup target-workgroup
	   Sets target workgroup or domain. You have to specify either this
	   option or the IP address or the name of a server.

       -W|--myworkgroup workgroup
	   Sets client workgroup or domain

       -U|--user user
	   User name to use

       -I|--ipaddress ip-address
	   IP address of target server to use. You have to specify either this
	   option or a target workgroup or a target server.

       -p|--port port
	   Port on the target server to connect to (usually 139 or 445).
	   Defaults to trying 445 first, then 139.

       -n|--netbiosname <primary NetBIOS name>
	   This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses
	   for itself. This is identical to setting the netbios name parameter
	   in the smb.conf file. However, a command line setting will take
	   precedence over settings in smb.conf.

       -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.

       -S|--server server
	   Name of target server. You should specify either this option or a
	   target workgroup or a target IP address.

       -l|--long
	   When listing data, give more information on each item.

       -v|--verbose
	   When listing data, give more verbose information on each item.

       -f|--force
	   Enforcing a net command.

       -P|--machine-pass
	   Make queries to the external server using the machine account of
	   the local server.

       --request-timeout 30
	   Let client requests timeout after 30 seconds the default is 10
	   seconds.

       -t|--timeout 30
	   Set timeout for client operations to 30 seconds.

       --use-ccache
	   Try to use the credentials cached by winbind.

       -i|--stdin
	   Take input for net commands from standard input.

       --tallocreport
	   Generate a talloc report while processing a net command.

       -T|--test
	   Only test command sequence, dry-run.

       -F|--flags FLAGS
	   Pass down integer flags to a net subcommand.

       -C|--comment COMMENT

	   When calling "net rpc vampire keytab" this option enforces a full
	   re-creation of the generated keytab file.

       --single-obj-repl
	   When calling "net rpc vampire keytab" this option allows to
	   replicate just a single object to the generated keytab file.

       --clean-old-entries
	   When calling "net rpc vampire keytab" this option allows to cleanup
	   old entries from the generated keytab file.

       --db
	   Define dbfile for "net idmap" commands.

       --lock
	   Activates locking of the dbfile for "net idmap check" command.

       -a|--auto
	   Activates noninteractive mode in "net idmap check".

       --repair
	   Activates repair mode in "net idmap check".

       --acls
	   Includes ACLs to be copied in "net rpc share migrate".

       --attrs
	   Includes file attributes to be copied in "net rpc share migrate".

       --timestamps
	   Includes timestamps to be copied in "net rpc share migrate".

       -X|--exclude DIRECTORY

       --wipe
	   Createa a new database from scratch (used in "net registry check").

       --precheck PRECHECK_DB_FILENAME
	   Defines filename for database prechecking (used in "net registry
	   import").

       -e|--encrypt
	   This command line parameter requires the remote server support the
	   UNIX extensions or that the SMB3 protocol has been selected.
	   Requests that the connection be encrypted. Negotiates SMB
	   encryption using either SMB3 or POSIX extensions via GSSAPI. Uses
	   the given credentials for the encryption negotiation (either
	   kerberos or NTLMv1/v2 if given domain/username/password triple.
	   Fails the connection if encryption cannot be negotiated.

       -d|--debuglevel=level
	   level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if this
	   parameter is not specified is 1.

	   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 log
	   level 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.

       --option=<name>=<value>
	   Set the smb.conf(5) option "<name>" to value "<value>" from the
	   command line. This overrides compiled-in defaults and options read
	   from the configuration file.

COMMANDS
   CHANGESECRETPW
       This command allows the Samba machine account password to be set from
       an external application to a machine account password that has already
       been stored in Active Directory. DO NOT USE this command unless you
       know exactly what you are doing. The use of this command requires that
       the force flag (-f) be used also. There will be NO command prompt.
       Whatever information is piped into stdin, either by typing at the
       command line or otherwise, will be stored as the literal machine
       password. Do NOT use this without care and attention as it will
       overwrite a legitimate machine password without warning. YOU HAVE BEEN
       WARNED.

   TIME
       The NET TIME command allows you to view the time on a remote server or
       synchronise the time on the local server with the time on the remote
       server.

   TIME
       Without any options, the NET TIME command displays the time on the
       remote server.

   TIME SYSTEM
       Displays the time on the remote server in a format ready for /bin/date.

   TIME SET
       Tries to set the date and time of the local server to that on the
       remote server using /bin/date.

   TIME ZONE
       Displays the timezone in hours from GMT on the remote computer.

   [RPC|ADS] JOIN [TYPE] [-U username[%password]] [createupn=UPN]
       [createcomputer=OU] [machinepass=PASS] [osName=string osVer=string]
       [options]
       Join a domain. If the account already exists on the server, and [TYPE]
       is MEMBER, the machine will attempt to join automatically. (Assuming
       that the machine has been created in server manager) Otherwise, a
       password will be prompted for, and a new account may be created.

       [TYPE] may be PDC, BDC or MEMBER to specify the type of server joining
       the domain.

       [UPN] (ADS only) set the principalname attribute during the join. The
       default format is host/netbiosname@REALM.

       [OU] (ADS only) Precreate the computer account in a specific OU. The OU
       string reads from top to bottom without RDNs, and is delimited by a
       '/'. Please note that '\' is used for escape by both the shell and
       ldap, so it may need to be doubled or quadrupled to pass through, and
       it is not used as a delimiter.

       [PASS] (ADS only) Set a specific password on the computer account being
       created by the join.

       [osName=string osVer=String] (ADS only) Set the operatingSystem and
       operatingSystemVersion attribute during the join. Both parameters must
       be specified for either to take effect.

   [RPC] OLDJOIN [options]

   [RPC|ADS] CHANGETRUSTPW
       Force change of domain trust password.

   RPC TRUSTDOM
   RPC TRUSTDOM ADD DOMAIN
       Add a interdomain trust account for DOMAIN. This is in fact a Samba
       account named DOMAIN$ with the account flag 'I' (interdomain trust
       account). This is required for incoming trusts to work. It makes Samba
       be a trusted domain of the foreign (trusting) domain. Users of the
       Samba domain will be made available in the foreign domain. If the
       command is used against localhost it has the same effect as smbpasswd
       -a -i DOMAIN. Please note that both commands expect a appropriate UNIX
       account.

   RPC TRUSTDOM DEL DOMAIN
       Remove interdomain trust account for DOMAIN. If it is used against
       localhost it has the same effect as smbpasswd -x DOMAIN$.

   RPC TRUSTDOM ESTABLISH DOMAIN
       Establish a trust relationship to a trusted domain. Interdomain account
       must already be created on the remote PDC. This is required for
       outgoing trusts to work. It makes Samba be a trusting domain of a
       foreign (trusted) domain. Users of the foreign domain will be made
       available in our domain. You'll need winbind and a working idmap config
       to make them appear in your system.

   RPC TRUSTDOM REVOKE DOMAIN
       Abandon relationship to trusted domain

   RPC TRUSTDOM LIST
       List all interdomain trust relationships.

   RPC TRUST
   RPC TRUST CREATE
       Create a trust object by calling lsaCreateTrustedDomainEx2. The can be
       done on a single server or on two servers at once with the possibility
       to use a random trust password.

       Options:

       otherserver
	   Domain controller of the second domain

       otheruser
	   Admin user in the second domain

       otherdomainsid
	   SID of the second domain

       other_netbios_domain
	   NetBIOS (short) name of the second domain

       otherdomain
	   DNS (full) name of the second domain

       trustpw
	   Trust password

       Examples:

       Create a trust object on srv1.dom1.dom for the domain dom2

	       net rpc trust create \
		   otherdomainsid=S-x-x-xx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx \
		   other_netbios_domain=dom2 \
		   otherdomain=dom2.dom \
		   trustpw=12345678 \
		   -S srv1.dom1.dom

       Create a trust relationship between dom1 and dom2

	       net rpc trust create \
		   otherserver=srv2.dom2.test \
		   otheruser=dom2adm \
		   -S srv1.dom1.dom

   RPC TRUST DELETE
       Delete a trust object by calling lsaDeleteTrustedDomain. The can be
       done on a single server or on two servers at once.

       Options:

       otherserver
	   Domain controller of the second domain

       otheruser
	   Admin user in the second domain

       otherdomainsid
	   SID of the second domain

       Examples:

       Delete a trust object on srv1.dom1.dom for the domain dom2

	       net rpc trust delete \
		   otherdomainsid=S-x-x-xx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx \
		   -S srv1.dom1.dom

       Delete a trust relationship between dom1 and dom2

		   otherserver=srv2.dom2.test \
		   otheruser=dom2adm \
		   -S srv1.dom1.dom

   RPC RIGHTS
       This subcommand is used to view and manage Samba's rights assignments
       (also referred to as privileges). There are three options currently
       available: list, grant, and revoke. More details on Samba's privilege
       model and its use can be found in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.

   IDMAP DELETE [-f] [--db=<DB>] <ID>
       Delete a mapping sid <-> gid or sid <-> uid from the IDMAP database.
       The mapping is given by <ID> which may either be a sid: S-x-..., a gid:
       "GID number" or a uid: "UID number". Use -f to delete an invalid
       partial mapping <ID> -> xx

       Use "smbcontrol all idmap ..." to notify running smbd instances. See
       the smbcontrol(1) manpage for details.

   IDMAP CHECK [-v] [-r] [-a] [-T] [-f] [-l] [--db=<DB>]
       Check and repair the IDMAP database. If no option is given a read only
       check of the database is done. Among others an interactive or automatic
       repair mode may be chosen with one of the following options:

       -r|--repair
	   Interactive repair mode, ask a lot of questions.

       -a|--auto
	   Noninteractive repair mode, use default answers.

       -v|--verbose
	   Produce more output.

       -f|--force
	   Try to apply changes, even if they do not apply cleanly.

       -T|--test
	   Dry run, show what changes would be made but don't touch anything.

       -l|--lock
	   Lock the database while doing the check.

       --db <DB>
	   Check the specified database.

       It reports about the finding of the following errors:

       Missing reverse mapping:
	   A record with mapping A->B where there is no B->A. Default action
	   in repair mode is to "fix" this by adding the reverse mapping.

       Invalid mapping:
	   A record with mapping A->B where B->C. Default action is to
	   "delete" this record.

       Missing or invalid HWM:
	   A high water mark is not at least equal to the largest ID in the
	   database. Default action is to "fix" this by setting it to the
	   largest ID found +1.

       Invalid record:
	   Something we failed to parse. Default action is to "edit" it in
	   interactive and "delete" it in automatic mode.

   USERSHARE
       Starting with version 3.0.23, a Samba server now supports the ability
       for non-root users to add user defined shares to be exported using the
       "net usershare" commands.

       To set this up, first set up your smb.conf by adding to the [global]
       section: usershare path = /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares Next create
       the directory /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares, change the owner to root
       and set the group owner to the UNIX group who should have the ability
       to create usershares, for example a group called "serverops". Set the
       permissions on /usr/local/samba/lib/usershares to 01770. (Owner and
       group all access, no access for others, plus the sticky bit, which
       means that a file in that directory can be renamed or deleted only by
       the owner of the file). Finally, tell smbd how many usershares you will
       allow by adding to the [global] section of smb.conf a line such as :
       usershare max shares = 100. To allow 100 usershare definitions. Now,
       members of the UNIX group "serverops" can create user defined shares on
       demand using the commands below.

       The usershare commands are:
	   net usershare add sharename path [comment [acl] [guest_ok=[y|n]]] -
	   to add or change a user defined share.
	   net usershare delete sharename - to delete a user defined share.
	   net usershare info [-l|--long] [wildcard sharename] - to print info
	   about a user defined share.
	   net usershare list [-l|--long] [wildcard sharename] - to list user
	   defined shares.

   USERSHARE ADD sharename path [comment] [acl] [guest_ok=[y|n]]
       Add or replace a new user defined share, with name "sharename".

       "path" specifies the absolute pathname on the system to be exported.
       Restrictions may be put on this, see the global smb.conf parameters:
       "usershare owner only", "usershare prefix allow list", and "usershare
       prefix deny list".

       The optional "comment" parameter is the comment that will appear on the
       share when browsed to by a client.

       The optional "acl" field specifies which users have read and write
       access to the entire share. Note that guest connections are not allowed
       unless the smb.conf parameter "usershare allow guests" has been set.
       The definition of a user defined share acl is: "user:permission", where
       user is a valid username on the system and permission can be "F", "R",
       or "D". "F" stands for "full permissions", ie. read and write
       permissions. "D" stands for "deny" for a user, ie. prevent this user
       from accessing this share. "R" stands for "read only", ie. only allow
       read access to this share (no creation of new files or directories or
       writing to files).

       The default if no "acl" is given is "Everyone:R", which means any
       authenticated user has read-only access.

       The optional "guest_ok" has the same effect as the parameter of the
       same name in smb.conf, in that it allows guest access to this user
       defined share. This parameter is only allowed if the global parameter
       "usershare allow guests" has been set to true in the smb.conf.

       There is no separate command to modify an existing user defined share,
       just use the "net usershare add [sharename]" command using the same
       sharename as the one you wish to modify and specify the new options you
       wish. The Samba smbd daemon notices user defined share modifications at
       connect time so will see the change immediately, there is no need to
       restart smbd on adding, deleting or changing a user defined share.

   USERSHARE DELETE sharename
       Deletes the user defined share by name. The Samba smbd daemon
       immediately notices this change, although it will not disconnect any
       users currently connected to the deleted share.

   USERSHARE INFO [-l|--long] [wildcard sharename]
       Get info on user defined shares owned by the current user matching the
       given pattern, or all users.

       net usershare info on its own dumps out info on the user defined shares
       that were created by the current user, or restricts them to share names
       that match the given wildcard pattern ('*' matches one or more
       characters, '?' matches only one character). If the '-l' or '--long'
       option is also given, it prints out info on user defined shares created
       by other users.

       The information given about a share looks like: [foobar]
       path=/home/jeremy comment=testme usershare_acl=Everyone:F guest_ok=n
       And is a list of the current settings of the user defined share that
       can be modified by the "net usershare add" command.

   USERSHARE LIST [-l|--long] wildcard sharename
       List all the user defined shares owned by the current user matching the
       given pattern, or all users.

       net usershare list on its own list out the names of the user defined
       shares that were created by the current user, or restricts the list to
       share names that match the given wildcard pattern ('*' matches one or
       more characters, '?' matches only one character). If the '-l' or
       '--long' option is also given, it includes the names of user defined
       shares created by other users.

   [RPC] CONF
       Starting with version 3.2.0, a Samba server can be configured by data
       stored in registry. This configuration data can be edited with the new
       "net conf" commands. There is also the possibility to configure a
       remote Samba server by enabling the RPC conf mode and specifying the
       address of the remote server.

       The deployment of this configuration data can be activated in two
       levels from the smb.conf file: Share definitions from registry are
       activated by setting registry shares to “yes” in the [global] section
       and global configuration options are activated by setting include =
       registry in the [global] section for a mixed configuration or by
       setting config backend = registry in the [global] section for a
       registry-only configuration. See the smb.conf(5) manpage for details.

       The conf commands are:
	   net [rpc] conf list - Dump the complete configuration in smb.conf
	   like format.
	   net [rpc] conf import - Import configuration from file in smb.conf
	   format.
	   net [rpc] conf listshares - List the registry shares.
	   net [rpc] conf drop - Delete the complete configuration from
	   registry.
	   net [rpc] conf showshare - Show the definition of a registry share.
	   net [rpc] conf addshare - Create a new registry share.
	   net [rpc] conf delshare - Delete a registry share.
	   net [rpc] conf setparm - Store a parameter.
	   net [rpc] conf getparm - Retrieve the value of a parameter.
	   net [rpc] conf delparm - Delete a parameter.
	   net [rpc] conf getincludes - Show the includes of a share
	   definition.
	   net [rpc] conf setincludes - Set includes for a share.
	   net [rpc] conf delincludes - Delete includes from a share
	   definition.

   [RPC] CONF LIST
       Print the configuration data stored in the registry in a smb.conf-like
       format to standard output.

   [RPC] CONF IMPORT [--test|-T] filename [section]
       This command imports configuration from a file in smb.conf format. If a
       section encountered in the input file is present in registry, its
       contents is replaced. Sections of registry configuration that have no
       counterpart in the input file are not affected. If you want to delete
       these, you will have to use the "net conf drop" or "net conf delshare"
       commands. Optionally, a section may be specified to restrict the effect
       of the import command to that specific section. A test mode is enabled
       by specifying the parameter "-T" on the commandline. In test mode, no
       changes are made to the registry, and the resulting configuration is
       printed to standard output instead.

   [RPC] CONF LISTSHARES
       List the names of the shares defined in registry.

   [RPC] CONF DROP
       Delete the complete configuration data from registry.

   [RPC] CONF SHOWSHARE sharename
       Show the definition of the share or section specified. It is valid to
       specify "global" as sharename to retrieve the global configuration
       options from registry.

   [RPC] CONF ADDSHARE sharename path [writeable={y|N} [guest_ok={y|N}
       [comment]]]
       Create a new share definition in registry. The sharename and path have
       to be given. The share name may not be "global". Optionally, values for
       the very common options "writeable", "guest ok" and a "comment" may be
       specified. The same result may be obtained by a sequence of "net conf
       setparm" commands.

   [RPC] CONF DELSHARE sharename
       Delete a share definition from registry.

   [RPC] CONF SETPARM section parameter value
       Store a parameter in registry. The section may be global or a
       sharename. The section is created if it does not exist yet.

   [RPC] CONF GETPARM section parameter
       Show a parameter stored in registry.

   [RPC] CONF DELPARM section parameter
       Delete a parameter stored in registry.

   [RPC] CONF GETINCLUDES section
       Get the list of includes for the provided section (global or share).

       Note that due to the nature of the registry database and the nature of
       include directives, the includes need special treatment: Parameters are
       stored in registry by the parameter name as valuename, so there is only
       ever one instance of a parameter per share. Also, a specific order like
       in a text file is not guaranteed. For all real parameters, this is
       perfectly ok, but the include directive is rather a meta parameter, for
       which, in the smb.conf text file, the place where it is specified
       between the other parameters is very important. This can not be
       achieved by the simple registry smbconf data model, so there is one
       ordered list of includes per share, and this list is evaluated after
       all the parameters of the share.

       Further note that currently, only files can be included from registry
       configuration. In the future, there will be the ability to include
       configuration data from other registry keys.

   [RPC] CONF SETINCLUDES section [filename]+
       Set the list of includes for the provided section (global or share) to
       the given list of one or more filenames. The filenames may contain the
       usual smb.conf macros like %I.

   [RPC] CONF DELINCLUDES section
       Delete the list of includes from the provided section (global or
       share).

   EVENTLOG
       Starting with version 3.4.0 net can read, dump, import and export
       native win32 eventlog files (usually *.evt). evt files are used by the
       native Windows eventviewer tools.

       The import and export of evt files can only succeed when eventlog list
       is used in smb.conf file. See the smb.conf(5) manpage for details.

       The eventlog commands are:
	   net eventlog dump - Dump a eventlog *.evt file on the screen.
	   net eventlog import - Import a eventlog *.evt into the samba
	   internal tdb based representation of eventlogs.
	   net eventlog export - Export the samba internal tdb based
	   representation of eventlogs into an eventlog *.evt file.

   EVENTLOG DUMP filename
       Prints a eventlog *.evt file to standard output.

   EVENTLOG IMPORT filename eventlog
       Imports a eventlog *.evt file defined by filename into the samba
       internal tdb representation of eventlog defined by eventlog.  eventlog
       needs to part of the eventlog list defined in smb.conf. See the
       smb.conf(5) manpage for details.

   EVENTLOG EXPORT filename eventlog
       Exports the samba internal tdb representation of eventlog defined by
       eventlog to a eventlog *.evt file defined by filename.  eventlog needs
       to part of the eventlog list defined in smb.conf. See the smb.conf(5)
       manpage for details.

   DOM
       Starting with version 3.2.0 Samba has support for remote join and
       unjoin APIs, both client and server-side. Windows supports remote join
       capabilities since Windows 2000.

       In order for Samba to be joined or unjoined remotely an account must be
       used that is either member of the Domain Admins group, a member of the
       local Administrators group or a user that is granted the
       SeMachineAccountPrivilege privilege.

       The client side support for remote join is implemented in the net dom
       commands which are:
	   net dom join - Join a remote computer into a domain.
	   net dom unjoin - Unjoin a remote computer from a domain.
	   net dom renamecomputer - Renames a remote computer joined to a
	   domain.

   DOM JOIN  domain=DOMAIN ou=OU account=ACCOUNT password=PASSWORD reboot
       Joins a computer into a domain. This command supports the following
       additional parameters:

       ·   DOMAIN can be a NetBIOS domain name (also known as short domain
	   name) or a DNS domain name for Active Directory Domains. As in
	   Windows, it is also possible to control which Domain Controller to
	   use. This can be achieved by appending the DC name using the \
	   separator character. Example: MYDOM\MYDC. The DOMAIN parameter
	   cannot be NULL.

       ·   OU can be set to a RFC 1779 LDAP DN, like
	   ou=mymachines,cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com in order to create the
	   machine account in a non-default LDAP container. This optional
	   parameter is only supported when joining Active Directory Domains.

       ·   ACCOUNT defines a domain account that will be used to join the
	   machine to the domain. This domain account needs to have sufficient
	   privileges to join machines.

       ·   PASSWORD defines the password for the domain account defined with
	   ACCOUNT.

       ·   REBOOT is an optional parameter that can be set to reboot the
	   remote machine after successful join to the domain.

       Note that you also need to use standard net parameters to connect and
       authenticate to the remote machine that you want to join. These
       additional parameters include: -S computer and -U user.

       Example: net dom join -S xp -U XP\\administrator%secret domain=MYDOM
       account=MYDOM\\administrator password=topsecret reboot.

       This example would connect to a computer named XP as the local
       administrator using password secret, and join the computer into a
       domain called MYDOM using the MYDOM domain administrator account and
       password topsecret. After successful join, the computer would reboot.

   DOM UNJOIN account=ACCOUNT password=PASSWORD reboot
       Unjoins a computer from a domain. This command supports the following
       additional parameters:

       ·   ACCOUNT defines a domain account that will be used to unjoin the
	   machine from the domain. This domain account needs to have
	   sufficient privileges to unjoin machines.

       ·   PASSWORD defines the password for the domain account defined with
	   ACCOUNT.

       ·   REBOOT is an optional parameter that can be set to reboot the
	   remote machine after successful unjoin from the domain.

       Note that you also need to use standard net parameters to connect and
       authenticate to the remote machine that you want to unjoin. These
       additional parameters include: -S computer and -U user.

       Example: net dom unjoin -S xp -U XP\\administrator%secret
       account=MYDOM\\administrator password=topsecret reboot.

       This example would connect to a computer named XP as the local
       administrator using password secret, and unjoin the computer from the
       domain using the MYDOM domain administrator account and password
       topsecret. After successful unjoin, the computer would reboot.

   DOM RENAMECOMPUTER newname=NEWNAME account=ACCOUNT password=PASSWORD reboot
       Renames a computer that is joined to a domain. This command supports
       the following additional parameters:

       ·   NEWNAME defines the new name of the machine in the domain.

       ·   ACCOUNT defines a domain account that will be used to rename the
	   machine in the domain. This domain account needs to have sufficient
	   privileges to rename machines.

       ·   PASSWORD defines the password for the domain account defined with
	   ACCOUNT.

       ·   REBOOT is an optional parameter that can be set to reboot the
	   remote machine after successful rename in the domain.

       Note that you also need to use standard net parameters to connect and
       authenticate to the remote machine that you want to rename in the
       domain. These additional parameters include: -S computer and -U user.

       Example: net dom renamecomputer -S xp -U XP\\administrator%secret
       newname=XPNEW account=MYDOM\\administrator password=topsecret reboot.

       This example would connect to a computer named XP as the local
       administrator using password secret, and rename the joined computer to
       XPNEW using the MYDOM domain administrator account and password
       topsecret. After successful rename, the computer would reboot.

   G_LOCK
       Manage global locks.

   G_LOCK DO lockname timeout command
       Execute a shell command under a global lock. This might be useful to
       define the order in which several shell commands will be executed. The
       locking information is stored in a file called g_lock.tdb. In setups
       with CTDB running, the locking information will be available on all
       cluster nodes.

       ·   LOCKNAME defines the name of the global lock.

       ·   TIMEOUT defines the timeout.

       ·   COMMAND defines the shell command to execute.

   G_LOCK LOCKS
       Print a list of all currently existing locknames.

   G_LOCK DUMP lockname
       Dump the locking table of a certain global lock.

   HELP [COMMAND]
       Gives usage information for the specified command.
