<description>
<para>This option allows you to override the default
network interfaces list that Samba will use for browsing, name
registration and other NBT traffic. By default Samba will query
the kernel for the list of all active interfaces and use any
interfaces except 127.0.0.1 that are broadcast capable.</para>
<para>The option takes a list of interface strings. Each string
can be in any of the following forms:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>a network interface name (such as eth0).
This may include shell-like wildcards so eth* will match
any interface starting with the substring &quot;eth&quot;</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>an IP address. In this case the netmask is
determined from the list of interfaces obtained from the
kernel</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>an IP/mask pair. </para></listitem>
<listitem><para>a broadcast/mask pair.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The &quot;mask&quot; parameters can either be a bit length (such
as 24 for a C class network) or a full netmask in dotted
decimal form.</para>
<para>The &quot;IP&quot; parameters above can either be a full dotted
decimal IP address or a hostname which will be looked up via
the OS's normal hostname resolution mechanisms.</para>

<comment>This would configure three network interfaces corresponding
to the eth0 device and IP addresses 192.168.2.10 and 192.168.3.10.
The netmasks of the latter two interfaces would be set to 255.255.255.0.</comment>
