.TH SMBRUN 1 "26 Apr 2000" "smbrun 2.0.7"
.PP
.SH "NAME"
smbrun \- interface program between smbd and external programs
.PP
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
\fBsmbrun\fP shell-command
.PP
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This program is part of the \fBSamba\fP suite\&.
.PP
\fBsmbrun\fP is a very small \'glue\' program, which runs shell commands
for the \fBsmbd\fP daemon \fBsmbd
(8)\fP\&.
.PP
It first changes to the highest effective user and group ID that it
can, then runs the command line provided using the system() call\&. This
program is necessary to allow some operating systems to run external
programs as non-root\&.
.PP
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
.IP
.IP "\fBshell-command\fP"
The shell command to execute\&. The command
should have a fully-qualified path\&.
.IP
.PP
.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
.PP
The \fIPATH\fP variable set for the environment in which \fBsmbrun\fP is
executed will affect what executables are located and executed if a
fully-qualified path is not given in the command\&.
.PP
.SH "DIAGNOSTICS"
.PP
If \fBsmbrun\fP cannot be located or cannot be executed by
\fBsmbd\fP then appropriate messages will be found in
the \fBsmbd\fP logs\&. Other diagnostics are dependent
on the shell-command being run\&. It is advisable for your shell
commands to issue suitable diagnostics to aid trouble-shooting\&.
.PP
.SH "VERSION"
.PP
This man page is correct for version 2\&.0 of the Samba suite\&.
.PP
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.PP
\fBsmb\&.conf (5)\fP, \fBsmbd (8)\fP
.PP
.SH "AUTHOR"
.PP
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
Andrew Tridgell samba@samba\&.org\&. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
Linux kernel is developed\&.
.PP
The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer\&. The man page
sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
Source software, available at
\fBftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/\fP)
and updated for the Samba2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&.
samba@samba\&.org\&.
