NAME
gentest - Run random generic SMB operations against two SMB servers and show the differences in behavior
SYNOPSIS
gentest {//server1/share1} {//server2/share2} {-U user%pass} {-U user%pass} [-s seed] [-o numops] [-a] [-A] [-i FILE] [-O] [-S FILE] [-L] [-F] [-C] [-X]
DESCRIPTION
gentest is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour between SMB servers. It will run a random set of generic operations against //server1/share1 and then the same random set against //server2/share2 and display the differences in the responses it gets.
This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour between Samba and Windows servers.
OPTIONS
- -U user%pass
-
Specify the user and password to use when logging on on the shares. This parameter is mandatory and has to be specified twice.
- -s seed
-
Seed the random number generator with the specified value.
- -o numops
-
Set the number of operations to perform.
- -a
-
Print the operations that are performed.
- -A
-
Backtrack to find minimal number of operations required to make the response to a certain call differ.
- -i FILE
-
Specify a file containing the names of fields that have to be ignored (such as time fields). See below for a description of the file format.
- -O
-
Enable oplocks.
- -S FILE
-
Set preset seeds file. The default is gentest_seeds.dat.
- -L
-
Use preset seeds
- -F
-
Fast reconnect (just close files)
- -C
-
Continuous analysis mode
- -X
-
Analyse even when the test succeeded.
