+ <para>This perl script is part of the <ulink url="samba.7.html">
+ Samba</ulink> suite.</para>
+
+ <para><command>findsmb</command> is a perl script that
+ prints out several pieces of information about machines
+ on a subnet that respond to SMB name query requests.
+ It uses <ulink url="nmblookup.1.html"><command>
+ nmblookup(1)</command></ulink> and <ulink url="smbclient.1.html">
+ <command>smbclient(1)</command></ulink> to obtain this information.

+ <term>subnet broadcast address</term>

+ to <command>nmblookup</command> as part of the

+ <title>EXAMPLES</title>
+
+ <para>The output of <command>findsmb</command> lists the following
+ information for all machines that respond to the initial
+ <command>nmblookup</command> for any name: IP address, NetBIOS name,
+ Workgroup name, operating system, and SMB server version.</para>
+
+ <para>There will be a '+' in front of the workgroup name for
+ machines that are local master browsers for that workgroup. There
+ will be an '*' in front of the workgroup name for
+ machines that are the domain master browser for that workgroup.
+ Machines that are running Windows, Windows 95 or Windows 98 will
+ not show any information about the operating system or server
+ version.</para>
+
+ <para>The command must be run on a system without <ulink
+ url="nmbd.8.html"><command>nmbd</command></ulink> running.
+ If <command>nmbd</command> is running on the system, you will
+ only get the IP address and the DNS name of the machine. To
+ get proper responses from Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines,
+ the command must be run as root. </para>
+
+ <para>For example running <command>findsmb</command> on a machine
+ without <command>nmbd</command> running would yield output similar
+ to the following</para>

+
+ <para>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.</para>
+
+ <para>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
+ <ulink url="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/">
+ ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</ulink>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
+ release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
+ Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter</para>
