.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.
