+
+ <para>This file is part of the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>Samba</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>
+
+ <para><filename>lmhosts</filename> is the <emphasis>Samba
+ </emphasis> NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file. It
+ is very similar to the <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> file
+ format, except that the hostname component must correspond
+ to the NetBIOS naming format.</para>
+</refsect1>
+
+<refsect1>
+ <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:</para>
+
+ <programlisting>
+#
+# Sample Samba lmhosts file.
+#
+192.9.200.1 TESTPC
+192.9.200.20 NTSERVER#20
+192.9.200.21 SAMBASERVER
+ </programlisting>
+
+ <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
+ is in the same directory as the <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smb.conf</refentrytitle>
+ <manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> file.</para>

+ <title>AUTHOR</title>
+
+ <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. The conversion to DocBook
+ XML 4.2 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.</para>
