MASKTEST(1) Test Suite MASKTEST(1) NAME masktest - Find differences in wildcard matching between Samba's implemen- tation and that of a remote server. SYNOPSIS masktest {//server/share} [-U user%pass] [-d debuglevel] [-W workgroup] [-n numloops] [-s seed] [-a] [-E] [-M max protocol] [-f filechars] [-m maskchars] [-v] DESCRIPTION masktest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour between Samba's own implementation and that of a remote server. It will run gener- ate random filenames/masks and check if these match the same files they do on the remote file as they do on the local server. It will display any dif- ferences it finds. This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour be- tween Samba and Windows servers. OPTIONS -U user%pass Specify the user and password to use when logging on on the shares. This parameter can be specified twice (once for the first server, once for the second). -s seed Seed the random number generator with the specified value. -n numops Set the number of operations to perform. -a Print the operations that are performed. -M max_protocol Maximum protocol to use. -f Specify characters that can be used when generating file names. De- fault: abcdefghijklm. -E Abort when difference in behaviour is found. -m maskchars Specify characters used for wildcards. -v Be verbose VERSION This man page is correct for version 4.0 of the Samba suite. SEE ALSO Samba AUTHOR This utility is part of the Samba[1] suite, which is developed by the global Samba Team[2]. masktest was written by Andrew Tridgell. This manpage was written by Jelmer Vernooij.
