nlcontrol -- NETLOGON secure channel utility SYNOPSIS
nlcontrol [reconfigure] status [options] status nlcontrol [options] verify nlcontrol [options] change-password DESCRIPTION
The NETLOGON channel is a secure connection to a Windows Domain Controller that is used for non-Kerberos user authentication. nlcontrol can be used to manipulate and test the status of the NETLOGON channel. OPTIONS
-domain The service will log extensive debug information and may perform extra diagnostic checks. This option is typically only useful for debugging. -help Prints a usage message and exits. -server 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. nlcontrol supports the following commands: reconfigure Force the NETLOGON service to re-read its configuration information. This is not necessary in normal operation, since the NETLOGON service will detect relevant configuration changes and re-establish the secure channel automatically. status Print the current status of the NETLOGON channel without altering its state. verify Attempt to verify that the NETLOGON channel is available and working correctly. change-password Bring up the NETLOGON channel and change the password of the machine account. The machine account is used to authenticate to the Domain Controller in order to secure the channel. DIAGNOSTICS
nlcontrol will exit with a non-zero error code if the command fails. It may also display a Windows error code, which is typically self- explanatory. HISTORY
The nlcontrol utility first appeared in Mac OS 10.7. Darwin June 2, 2019 Darwin

netbiosd(8) BSD System Manager's Manual netbiosd(8) NAME
netbiosd -- NetBIOS protocol daemon SYNOPSIS
netbiosd [options] DESCRIPTION
netbiosd is responsible for interacting with NetBIOS networks. netbiosd registers and defends one or more NetBIOS name, depending on the set of configured services. It also browses and scavenges names from the NetBIOS network, making them available to the system through mDNSResponder. OPTIONS
-debug The service will log extensive debug information and may perform extra diagnostic checks. This option is typically only useful for debugging. -dump-packets Pretty-print all sent and received NetBIOS packets to the output log. This option is typically only useful for debugging. -help Prints a usage message and exits. -max-refresh Maximum time (in seconds) between searches to refresh the workgroup list. -min-refresh Minimum time (in seconds) between searches to refresh the workgroup list. -stdout Causes netbiosd to print log messages to standard output instead of the system log. 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.netbiosd.plist The netbiosd service's property list file for launchd(8). SIGNALS
SIGHUP This signal causes netbiosd to reconfigure. It will first unregister any NetBIOS names it has registered. Then it will determine its new set of NetBIOS names and register those. SIGUSR1 This signal causes netbiosd to toggle debug logging. SEE ALSO
