.SH NAME
|
|
lmhosts \- The Samba NetBIOS hosts file
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIlmhosts\fR is the Samba NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file.
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.PP
|
|
This file is part of the Samba suite.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIlmhosts\fR is the \fBSamba
|
|
\fR NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file. It
|
|
is very similar to the \fI/etc/hosts\fR file
|
|
format, except that the hostname component must correspond
|
|
to the NetBIOS naming format.
|
|
.SH "FILE FORMAT"
|
|
.PP
|
|
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 :
|
|
.TP 0.2i
|
|
\(bu
|
|
IP Address - in dotted decimal format.
|
|
.TP 0.2i
|
|
\(bu
|
|
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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
An example follows :
|
|
.PP
|

|
|
192.9.200.21 SAMBASERVER
|
|
|
|
.fi
|
|
.PP
|
|
Contains three IP to NetBIOS name mappings. The first
|
|
and third will be returned for any queries for the names "TESTPC"
|
|
and "SAMBASERVER" respectively, whatever the type component of
|
|
the NetBIOS name requested.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The second mapping will be returned only when the "0x20" name
|
|
type for a name "NTSERVER" is queried. Any other name type will not
|
|
be resolved.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default location of the \fIlmhosts\fR file
|
|
is in the same directory as the
|
|
smb.conf(5)> file.
|
|
.SH "VERSION"
|
|
.PP
|
|
This man page is correct for version 2.2 of
|

|
|
The original Samba software and related utilities
|
|
were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
|
|
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
|
|
to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
|
|
The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
|
|
excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
|
|
ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
|
|
release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
|
|
Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
