	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para><application>gentest</application> is a utility for 
		detecting differences in behaviour between SMB servers. 
		It will run a random set of generic operations against 
		<parameter>//server1/share1</parameter> and then the same 
		random set against <parameter>//server2/share2</parameter>
		and display the differences in the responses it gets.
	</para>

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