LMHOSTS !!!LMHOSTS NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION FILE FORMAT VERSION SEE ALSO AUTHOR ---- !!NAME lmhosts - The Samba NetBIOS hosts file !!SYNOPSIS ''lmhosts'' is the SambaNetBIOS name to IP address mapping file. !!DESCRIPTION This file is part of the Sambasuite. ''lmhosts'' is the __Samba__ NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file. It is very similar to the ''/etc/hosts'' file format, except that the hostname component must correspond to the NetBIOS naming format. !!FILE FORMAT It is an ASCII file containing one line for NetBIOS name. The two fields on each line are separated from each other by white space. Any entry beginning with '#' is ignored. Each line in the lmhosts file contains the following information : IP Address - in dotted decimal format. NetBIOS Name - This name format is a maximum fifteen character host name, with an optional trailing '#' character followed by the NetBIOS name type as two hexadecimal digits. If the trailing '#' is omitted then the given IP address will be returned for all names that match the given name, whatever the NetBIOS name type in the lookup. An example follows : # # Sample Samba lmhosts file. # 192.9.200.1 TESTPC 192.9.200.20 NTSERVER#20 192.9.200.21 SAMBASERVER Contains three IP to NetBIOS name mappings. The first and third will be returned for any queries for the names The second mapping will be returned only when the The default location of the ''lmhosts'' file is in the same directory as the smb.conf(5)'' !!VERSION This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the Samba suite. !!SEE ALSO __smbclient(1)__ !!AUTHOR The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell.
