<para><filename>lmhosts</filename> is the <emphasis>Samba

is very similar to the <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> file

<title>FILE FORMAT</title>
|
|
<para>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:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>IP Address - in dotted decimal format.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>An example follows:

|
|
192.9.200.21 SAMBASERVER
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The default location of the <filename>lmhosts</filename> file
