DESCRIPTION

    .PP 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.
    .PP This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour between Samba and Windows servers.

OPTIONS

        .PP -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.
