GENTEST(1) Test Suite GENTEST(1)
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
