smbd - CIFS server daemon
/usr/lib/smbsrv/smbd
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 NetBIOS-Over-TCP (NBT) and TCP transports.
When smbd is started over NBT, the following services are started:
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.
The following exit values are returned:
