smbcquotas - Set or get QUOTAs of NTFS 5 shares
SYNOPSIS
smbcquotas {//server/share} [-u user] [-L] [-F]
[-S QUOTA_SET_COMMAND] [-n] [-t] [-v] [-d debuglevel]
[-s configfile] [-l logdir] [-V] [-U username] [-N] [-k]

DESCRIPTION
This tool is part of the samba(7) suite.
The smbcquotas program manipulates NT Quotas on SMB file
shares.
OPTIONS
The following options are available to the smbcquotas
program.
-u user
Specifies the user of whom the quotas are get or set. By
default the current user's username will be used.
-L
Lists all quota records of the share.
-F
Show the share quota status and default limits.
-S QUOTA_SET_COMMAND
This command sets/modifies quotas for a user or on the
share, depending on the QUOTA_SET_COMMAND parameter
which is described later.
-n
This option displays all QUOTA information in numeric
format. The default is to convert SIDs to names and
QUOTA limits to a readable string format.
-t
Don't actually do anything, only validate the
correctness of the arguments.
-v
Be verbose.
-h|--help
Print a summary of command line options.
-d|--debuglevel=level
level is an integer from 0 to 10. The default value if
this parameter is not specified is 0.

User Commands SMBCQUOTAS(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 blue]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.
-N|--no-pass
If specified, this parameter suppresses the normal
password prompt from the client to the user. This is
useful when accessing a service that does not require a
password.
Unless a password is specified on the command line or
this parameter is specified, the client will request a
password.
If a password is specified on the command line and this
option is also defined the password on the command line
will be silently ingnored and no password will be used.
-k|--kerberos
Try to authenticate with kerberos. Only useful in an
Active Directory environment.

User Commands SMBCQUOTAS(1)
-C|--use-ccache
Try to use the credentials cached by winbind.
-A|--authentication-file=filename
This option allows you to specify a file from which to
read the username and password used in the connection.
The format of the file is
username = <value>
password = <value>
domain = <value>
Make certain that the permissions on the file restrict
access from unwanted users.
-U|--user=username[%password]
Sets the SMB username or username and password.
If %password is not specified, the user will be
prompted. The client will first check the USER
environment variable, then the LOGNAME variable and if
either exists, the string is uppercased. If these
environmental variables are not found, the username
GUEST is used.
A third option is to use a credentials file which
contains the plaintext of the username and password.
This option is mainly provided for scripts where the
admin does not wish to pass the credentials on the
command line or via environment variables. If this
method is used, make certain that the permissions on the
file restrict access from unwanted users. See the -A for
more details.
Be cautious about including passwords in scripts. Also,
on many systems the command line of a running process
may be seen via the ps command. To be safe always allow
rpcclient to prompt for a password and type it in
directly.
QUOTA_SET_COMMAND
The format of an the QUOTA_SET_COMMAND is an operation name
followed by a set of parameters specific to that operation.
To set user quotas for the user specified by -u or for the
current username:
UQLIM:<username>:<softlimit>/<hardlimit>
To set the default quotas for a share:

User Commands SMBCQUOTAS(1)
FSQLIM:<softlimit>/<hardlimit>
To change the share quota settings:
FSQFLAGS:QUOTA_ENABLED/DENY_DISK/LOG_SOFTLIMIT/LOG_HARD_LIMIT
All limits are specified as a number of bytes.
EXIT STATUS
The smbcquotas program sets the exit status depending on the
success or otherwise of the operations performed. The exit
status may be one of the following values.
If the operation succeeded, smbcquotas returns an exit
status of 0. If smbcquotas couldn't connect to the specified
server, or when there was an error getting or setting the
quota(s), an exit status of 1 is returned. If there was an
error parsing any command line arguments, an exit status of
2 is returned.
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite.

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