-BUILDING KSMBD TOOLS
-________________________
-
-Install preprequisite packages:
- For Ubuntu:
- sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool pkg-config libnl-3-dev \
- libnl-genl-3-dev libglib2.0-dev
-
- For Fedora, RHEL:
- sudo yum install autoconf automake libtool glib2-devel libnl3-devel
-
- For CentOS:
- sudo yum install glib2-devel libnl3-devel
-
-Build steps:
- - cd into the ksmbd-tools directory
- - ./autogen.sh
- - ./configure
- - make
- - make install

-_____________________
-USING KSMBD TOOLS
-_____________________
-
-Setup steps:
- - install smbd kernel driver
- modprobe ksmbd
- - create user/password for SMB share
- mkdir /etc/ksmbd/
- ksmbd.adduser -a <Enter USERNAME for SMB share access>
- Enter password for SMB share access
- - create /etc/ksmbd/smb.conf file, add SMB share in smb.conf file
- Refer smb.conf.example
- - start smbd user space daemon
- ksmbd.mountd
- - access share from Windows or Linux using CIFS
-
-_____________________
-RESTART KSMBD
-_____________________
-
-steps:
- - kill user and kernel space daemon
- sudo ksmbd.control -s
- - restart user space daemon
- ksmbd.mountd
-
-_____________________
-Shutdown KSMBD
-_____________________
-
-steps:
- - kill user and kernel space daemon
- sudo ksmbd.control -s
- - unload ksmbd module
- rmmod ksmbd
-
-
-_____________________
-Enable debug prints
-_____________________
-
-steps:
- - Enable all component prints
- sudo ksmbd.control -d "all"
- - Enable one of components(smb, auth, vfs, oplock, ipc, conn, rdma)
- sudo ksmbd.control -d "smb"
- - Disable prints:
- If you try the selected component once more, It is disabled without brackets.

- Adds, updates or removes (-a/-u/-d) a user from ksmbd pwd file.
-
-- ksmbd.addshare
- Adds, updates or removes (-a/-u/-d) a net share from smb.conf file.
-
-Usage example:
-
-Creating a new share:
-
-ksmbd.addshare -a files -o "\
- path=/home/users/files \
- comment=exported files \
- writeable=yes \
- read only = no \
- "
-
-Note that share options (-o) must always be enquoted ("...").
-
-ksmbd.addshare tool does not modify [global] smb.conf section; only net
-share configs are supported at the moment.

+
+- For Fedora, RHEL:
+ - `sudo yum install autoconf automake libtool glib2-devel libnl3-devel`
+
+- For CentOS:
+ - `sudo yum install glib2-devel libnl3-devel`
+
+- For openSUSE:
+ - `sudo zypper install glib2-devel libnl3-devel`
+
+##### Building:
+
+- clone this repository
+- `cd ksmbd-tools`
+- `./autogen.sh`
+- `./configure`
+- `make`
+- `make install`
+
+
+### Usage
+
+All administration tasks must be done as root.
+
+##### Setup:
+
+- Install ksmbd kernel driver
+ - `modprobe ksmbd`
+- Create user/password for SMB share
+ - `mkdir /etc/ksmbd`
+ - `ksmbd.adduser -a <username>`
+ - Enter password for SMB share access
+- Create `/etc/ksmbd/smb.conf` file
+ - Refer `smb.conf.example`
+- Add share to `smb.conf`
+ - This can be done manually or with `ksmbd.addshare`, e.g.:
+ - `ksmbd.addshare -a myshare -o "guest ok = yes, writable = yes, path = /mnt/data"`
+
+ - Note: share options (-o) must always be enclosed with double quotes ("...").
+- Start ksmbd user space daemon
+ - `ksmbd.mountd`
+- Access share from Windows or Linux using CIFS
+
+
+##### Stopping and restarting the daemon:
+
+- Kill user and kernel space daemon
+ - `ksmbd.control -s`
+- To restart user space daemon
+ - `ksmbd.mountd`
+- To shut it down
+ - `rmmod ksmbd`
+
+
+### Debugging
+
+- Enable all component prints
+ - `ksmbd.control -d "all"`
+- Enable a single component (see below)
+ - `ksmbd.control -d "smb"`
