It may be useful in some situations to be able to specify a list of

queried. This option allows that. The syntax is similar to the

netbios names for which the server should send a reply if queried.
|
||||
This option allows you to specify a file containing such a list.
|
||||
The syntax of the hosts file is similar to the standard /etc/hosts file
|
||||
format, but has some extensions.
|
||||
|
||||
The file contains three columns. Lines beginning with a # are ignored
|
||||
as comments. The first column is an IP address, or a hostname. If it
|
||||
is a hostname then it is interpreted as the IP address returned by
|
||||
gethostbyname() when read. Any IP address of 0.0.0.0 will be
|
||||
gethostbyname() when read. An IP address of 0.0.0.0 will be
|
||||
interpreted as the server's own IP address.
|
||||
|
||||
The second column is a netbios name. This is the name that the server
|
||||
will respond to. It must be less than 20 characters long.
|
||||
|
||||
The third column is optional, and is intended for flags. Currently the
|
||||
only flag supported is M.
|
||||
|
||||
An M means that this name is the default netbios name for this
|
||||
machine. This has the same affect as specifying the
|
||||
only flag supported is M, which means that this name is the default
|
||||
netbios name for this machine. This has the same effect as specifying the
