.Options in Samba utilities have been renamed and removed for a consistent user experience The Samba utilities have been improved to provide a consistent command-line interface. These improvements include renamed and removed options. Therefore, to avoid problems after the update, review your scripts that use Samba utilities, and update them, if necessary. Samba 4.15 introduces the following changes to the Samba utilities: * Previously, Samba command-line utilities silently ignored unknown options. To prevent unexpected behavior, the utilities now consistently reject unknown options. * Several command-line options now have a corresponding `smb.conf` variable to control their default value. See the man pages of the utilities to identify if a command-line option has an `smb.conf` variable name. * By default, Samba utilities now log to standard error (`stderr`). Use the `--debug-stdout` option to change this behavior. * The `--client-protection=off|sign|encrypt` option has been added to the common parser. * The following options have been renamed in all utilities: ** `--kerberos` to `--use-kerberos=required|desired|off` ** `--krb5-ccache` to `--use-krb5-ccache=__CCACHE__` ** `--scope` to `--netbios-scope=__SCOPE__` ** `--use-ccache` to `--use-winbind-ccache` * The following options have been removed from all utilities: ** `-e` and `--encrypt` ** `-C` removed from `--use-winbind-ccache` ** `-i` removed from `--netbios-scope` ** `-S` and `--signing` * To avoid duplicate options, certain options have been removed or renamed from the following utilities: ** `ndrdump`: `-l` is no longer available for `--load-dso` ** `net`: `-l` is no longer available for `--long` ** `sharesec`: `-V` is no longer available for `--viewsddl` ** `smbcquotas`: `--user` has been renamed to `--quota-user` ** `nmbd`: `--log-stdout` has been renamed to `--debug-stdout` ** `smbd`: `--log-stdout` has been renamed to `--debug-stdout` ** `winbindd`: `--log-stdout` has been renamed to `--debug-stdout`
