.SH "SYNOPSIS"
|

.PP
|

lmhosts is the \fBSamba\fP NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file\&.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.PP
|
|
This file is part of the \fBSamba\fP suite\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBlmhosts\fP is the \fBSamba\fP NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file\&. It
|
|
is very similar to the \fB/etc/hosts\fP file format, except that the
|
|
hostname component must correspond to the NetBIOS naming format\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.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 :
|
|
.PP
|
|
.IP
|
|
.IP o
|
|
\fBIP Address\fP - in dotted decimal format\&.
|
|
.IP
|
|
.IP o
|
|
\fBNetBIOS Name\fP - This name format is a maximum fifteen
|
|
character host name, with an optional trailing \f(CW\'#\'\fP character
|
|
followed by the NetBIOS name type as two hexadecimal digits\&.
|
|
.IP
|
|
If the trailing \f(CW\'#\'\fP 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\&.

Contains three IP to NetBIOS name mappings\&. The first and third will
|
|
be returned for any queries for the names \f(CW"TESTPC"\fP and
|
|
\f(CW"SAMBASERVER"\fP respectively, whatever the type component of the
|
|
NetBIOS name requested\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The second mapping will be returned only when the \f(CW"0x20"\fP name type
|
|
for a name \f(CW"NTSERVER"\fP is queried\&. Any other name type will not be
|
|
resolved\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The default location of the \fBlmhosts\fP file is in the same directory
|
|
as the \fBsmb\&.conf\fP file\&.

|
|
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
|
|
Andrew Tridgell samba@samba\&.org\&. 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
|
|
\fBftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/\fP)
|
|
and updated for the Samba2\&.0 release by Jeremy Allison\&.
|
|
samba@samba\&.org\&.
