+The lmhosts file is a list of NetBIOS names to IP addresses that is
+loaded by the nmbd server and used via the name resolution mechanism
+em(name resolve order) described in bf(smbd.conf (5)) to resolve any
+NetBIOS name queries needed by the server. Note that the contents of
+this file are em(NOT) used by nmbd to answer any name queries, adding
+a line to this file affects name NetBIOS resolution from this host
+em(ONLY).
 
-.B \-G
+The default path to this file is compiled into Samba as part of the
+build process. Common defaults are em(/usr/local/samba/lib/lmhosts),
+em(/usr/samba/lib/lmhosts) or em(/etc/lmhosts). See the bf(lmhosts
+(5)) man page for details on the contents of this file.

-.RE
+dit(bf(-d debuglevel)) debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10.
 
-.B \-H
-.I NetBIOS hosts file
+The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero.
 
-.RS 3
-It may be useful in some situations to be able to specify a list of
-NetBIOS names for which the server should send a reply if queried.  
-This option allows you to specify a file containing such a list. 
-The syntax of the hosts file is similar to the standard /etc/hosts file
-format, but has some extensions.
+The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files
+about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical errors
+and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for
+day to day running - it generates a small amount of information about
+operations carried out.
 
-The file contains three columns. Lines beginning with a # are ignored
-as comments. The first column is an IP address, or a hostname. If it
-is a hostname then it is interpreted as the IP address returned by
-gethostbyname() when read. An IP address of 0.0.0.0 will be
-interpreted as the server's own IP address.
+Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
+should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are
+designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log
+data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
 
-The second column is a NetBIOS name. This is the name that the server
-will respond to. It must be less than 20 characters long.
+dit(bf(-l logfile)) The bf(-l) parameter specifies a path and base
+filename into which operational data from the running nmbd server will
+be logged.  The actual log file name is generated by appending the
+extension ".nmb" to the specified base name.  For example, if the name
+specified was "log" then the file log.nmb would contain the debugging
+data.
 
-The third column is optional, and is intended for flags. Currently the
-only flag supported is M, which means that this name is the default 
-NetBIOS name for this machine. This has the same effect as specifying the
-.B \-n
-option to
-.BR nmbd .
+The default log file path is is compiled into Samba as part of the
+build process. Common defaults are em(/usr/local/samba/var/log.nmb),
+em(/usr/samba/var/log.nmb) or em(/var/log/log.nmb).
 
-NOTE: The G and S flags are now obsolete and are replaced by the
-"interfaces" and "remote announce" options in smb.conf.
+dit(bf(-n primary NetBIOS name)) This option allows you to override
+the NetBIOS name that Samba uses for itself. This is identical to
+setting the bf(netbios name) parameter in the smb.conf file
+but will override the setting in the smb.conf file.
 
-The default hosts file name is set at compile time, typically as
-.I /etc/lmhosts,
-but this may be changed in the Samba Makefile.
+dit(bf(-p UDP port number)) UDP port number is a positive integer value.
 
-After startup the server waits for queries, and will answer queries for
-any name known to it. This includes all names in the NetBIOS hosts file, 
-its own name, and any other names it may have learned about from other 
-browsers on the network.
+This option changes the default UDP port number (normally 137) that
+nmbd responds to name queries on. Don't use this option unless you are
+an expert, in which case you won't need help!
 
-The primary intention of the
-.B \-H
-option is to allow a mapping from NetBIOS names to internet domain names.
-
-.B Example:
-
-        # This is a sample NetBIOS hosts file
-
-        # DO NOT USE THIS FILE AS-IS
-        # YOU MAY INCONVENIENCE THE OWNERS OF THESE IPs
-        # if you want to include a name with a space in it then 
-        # use double quotes.
-
-        # next add a NetBIOS alias for a faraway host
-        arvidsjaur.anu.edu.au ARVIDSJAUR
-
-        # finally put in an IP for a hard to find host

-.SH SIGNALS

-In version 1.9.18 and above, nmbd will accept SIGHUP, which will cause it to dump out
-it's namelists into the file namelist.debug in the SAMBA/var/locks directory. This
-will also cause nmbd to dump out it's server database in the log.nmb file.
-Also new in version 1.9.18 and above is the ability to raise the debug log
-level of nmbd by sending it a SIGUSR1 (kill -USR1 <nmbd-pid>) and to lower
-the nmbd log level by sending it a SIGUSR2 (kill -USR2 <nmbd-pid>). This
-is to allow transient problems to be diagnosed, whilst still running at
-a normally low log level.
-
-.SH VERSION
-
-This man page is (mostly) correct for version 1.9.16 of the Samba
-suite, plus some of the recent patches to it. These notes will
-necessarily lag behind development of the software, so it is possible
-that your version of the server has extensions or parameter semantics
-that differ from or are not covered by this man page. Please notify
-these to the address below for rectification.
