smbd(8) BSD System Manager's Manual smbd(8)NAME
smbd -- SMB server daemon
SYNOPSIS
smbd [options]
DESCRIPTION
smbd runs on a server machine to service SMB protocol requests from SMB client machines.
OPTIONS -debug The service will log extensive debug information and may perform extra diagnostic checks. In debug mode, smbd will not exit when
idle.
-help Prints a usage message and exits.
-ports list
The service will listen on each of the TCP ports specified in the comma-separated list. This option is typically only used for
debugging, since smbd is normally launched by launchd(8) on port 445.
-stdout Causes smbd to print log messages to standard output instead of the system log.
-no-symlinks
In normal operation, smbd will respond to client symlink requests but will never follow symlinks itself. This flag causes smbd to
restrict client access to symlink operations and to always follow symlinks. In this case, clients will not be aware that symlinks
are in use because they will always be directed to the symlink target.
FILES
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.smb.server.plist
The primary configuration for the SMB stack. This file is updated by various system services and should not be edited by hand.
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.smbd.plist
The smbd service's property list file for launchd(8).
SIGNALS
SIGHUP This signal causes smbd to re-read its configuration settings.

The SMB protocol is documented as part of the Microsoft Work Group Server Protocol Program (WSPP) technical documentation set, specifically
MS-CIFS Common Internet File System Specification

smbd - CIFS server daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/smbsrv/smbd
DESCRIPTION
The smbd daemon handles CIFS/SMB requests from CIFS clients, such as Windows clients. Only processes with {PRIV_SYS_SMB} and sufficient
privileges to write the /var/run directory can run this daemon.
The smbd daemon is automatically invoked by using the sharemgr command over all available transports. By default, smbd starts over the Net-
BIOS-Over-TCP (NBT) and TCP transports.
When smbd is started over NBT, the following services are started:
o The NetBIOS name service is started on UDP port 137.
o The NetBIOS datagram service is started on UDP port 138.
o The NetBIOS session service is started on TCP port 139.
When the smbd daemon is started over TCP, the CIFS service is started on TCP port 445.
Only one instance of smbd may be running at a time.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Daemon exited cleanly.
95 Daemon exited with a fatal error.
96 Daemon exited with a configuration error.

Use the svcadm command to perform administrative actions on the smbd service, such as enabling, disabling, or restarting the service. Use
the svcs command to query the service status.
The smbd service is managed by the service management facility under the service identifier svc:/network/smb/server.
If the smbd service is disabled, it will be enabled by the sharemgr(1M) command, unless its auto_enable property is set to false.
