smbta-util is a tool to ease the configuration of the vfs_smb_traffic_analyzer module regarding data encryption.
The user can generate a key, install a key (activating encryption), or uninstall a key (deactivating encryption). Any operation that

the file.

-f KEYFILE
Open an existing keyfile, read the key from the file, and install the key, activating encryption.
-g KEYFILE
Generate a new random key, install the key, activate encryption, and store the key into the file KEYFILE.
-u
Uninstall the key, deactivating encryption.
-s
Check if a key is installed.
-c KEYFILE
Create a KEYFILE from an installed key.
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3.4 of the Samba suite.
AUTHOR
The original version of smbta-util was created by Holger Hetterich.
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
