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

SYNOPSIS
       net {<ads|rap|rpc>} [-h] [-w workgroup] [-W myworkgroup] [-U user]
	   [-I ip-address] [-p port] [-n myname] [-s conffile] [-S server]
	   [-l] [-P] [-D debuglevel]

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

       The samba net utility is meant to work just like the net utility avail‐
       able 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
       -h|--help
	      Print a summary of command line options.

       -w 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 workgroup
	      Sets client workgroup or domain

       -U user
	      User name to use

       -I 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  on	the  target server to connect to (usually 139 or 445).
	      Defaults to trying 445 first, then 139.

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

       -s <configuration file>
	      The  file	 specified contains the configuration details required
	      by the server. The information in this file includes server-spe‐
	      cific  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
	      Name of target server. You should specify either this option  or
	      a target workgroup or a target IP address.

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

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

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

	      The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log
	      files about the activities of the server. At level 0, only crit‐
	      ical  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   pa‐
	      rameter in the smb.conf 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  com‐
       mand line or otherwise, will be stored as the literal machine password.
       Do NOT use this without care and attention as it will overwrite	a  le‐
       gitimate 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 re‐
       mote 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  re‐
       mote server using /bin/date.

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

   [RPC|ADS] JOIN [TYPE] [-U username[%password]] [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 pass‐
       word 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.

   [RPC] OLDJOIN [options]
       Join  a domain. Use the OLDJOIN option to join the domain using the old
       style of domain joining - you need to create a trust account in	server
