Synopsis

Command synopsis
testparm [options] [filename] [hostname IP_addr]
If the configuration file is not provided using the
filename
argument, then it defaults to

. If the hostname
and an IP address of a system are included, an extra check is made to
ensure that the system is allowed to connect to each service defined
in the configuration file. This is done by comparing the hostname and
IP address to the definitions of the hosts allow
and hosts deny
parameters.

configuration variable to the specified server name.-
