NAME
       smbd - CIFS server daemon

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/smbsrv/smbd

DESCRIPTION
       The  smbd  daemon  handles CIFS/SMB requests from CIFS clients, such as
       Windows clients. Only  processes	 with  {PRIV_SYS_SMB}  and  sufficient
       privileges to write the /var/run directory can run this daemon.

       The  smbd daemon is automatically invoked by using the sharemgr command
       over all available transports. By default, smbd starts  over  the  Net‐
       BIOS-Over-TCP (NBT) and TCP transports.

       When smbd is started over NBT, the following services are started:

	   o	  The NetBIOS name service is started on UDP port 137.

	   o	  The NetBIOS datagram service is started on UDP port 138.

	   o	  The NetBIOS session service is started on TCP port 139.

       When  the  smbd daemon is started over TCP, the CIFS service is started
       on TCP port 445.

       Only one instance of smbd may be running at a time.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0
		    Daemon exited cleanly.

       95
		    Daemon exited with a fatal error.

       96
		    Daemon exited with a configuration error.

ATTRIBUTES
       See the attributes(5)  man  page	 for  descriptions  of	the  following
       attributes:

NOTES
       Use the svcadm command to perform administrative actions	 on  the  smbd
       service,	 such  as  enabling, disabling, or restarting the service. Use
       the svcs command to query the service status.

       The smbd service is managed by the service  management  facility	 under
       the service identifier svc:/network/smb/server.

       If the smbd service is disabled, it will be enabled by the sharemgr(1M)
       command,	 unless its auto_enable	 property is set to false.
