+<p><br>This perl script is part of the <strong>Samba</strong> suite.
+<p><br><strong>findsmb</strong> 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 <a href="nmblookup.1.html"><strong>nmblookup</strong></a> and
+<a href="smbclient.1.html"><strong>smbclient</strong></a> to obtain this information.
+<p><br><a name="OPTIONS"></a>
+<h2>OPTIONS</h2>

+<p><br><a name="subnetbroadcastaddress"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>subnet broadcast address</strong></strong> Without this option, <strong>findsmb</strong>
+will probe the subnet of the machine where <strong>findsmb</strong> is run.
+This value is passed to <strong>nmblookup</strong> as part of the <strong>-B</strong>
+option
+<p><br></ul>
+<p><br><a name="EXAMPLES"></a>
+<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
+
+<p><br>The output of <strong>findsmb</strong> lists the following information for all
+machines that respond to the initial <strong>nmblookup</strong> for any name:
+IP address, NetBIOS name, Workgroup name, operating system, and
+SMB server version.
+<p><br>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.
+<p><br>The command must be run on a system without
+<strong>nmbd</strong> running. If <strong>nmbd</strong> 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.
+<p><br>For example running:

+<p><br><strong>smbcontrol</strong> is a very small program, which sends messages to a <a href="smbd.8.html"><strong>smbd</strong></a>

+<p><br><a name="destination"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>destination</strong></strong> is one of "nmbd", "smbd" or a process ID
+<p><br>The <strong>smbd</strong> destination causes the message to be "broadcast" to all
+smbd daemons.
+<p><br>The <strong>nmbd</strong> destination causes the message to be sent to the nmbd

+<p><br>If a single process ID is given, the message is sent to only that

+<p><br><a name="messagetype"></a>
+<li><strong><strong>message-type</strong></strong> is one of: debug, force-election, or ping.
+<p><br>The <strong>debug</strong> message-type allows the debug level to be set to the value
+specified by the parameter. This can be sent to any of the destinations.
+<p><br>The <strong>force-election</strong> message-type can only be sent to the <strong>nmbd</strong>
+destination. This message causes the <strong>nmbd</strong> daemon to force a
+new browse master election.
+<p><br>The <strong>ping</strong> message-type sends the number of "ping" messages specified

+The bf(debug) message-type allows the debug level to be set to the value
+specified by the parameter. This can be sent to any of the destinations.
+
+The bf(force-election) message-type can only be sent to the bf(nmbd)
+destination. This message causes the bf(nmbd) daemon to force a
+new browse master election.
+
+The bf(ping) message-type sends the number of "ping" messages specified
+by the parameter and waits for the same number of
+reply "pong" messages. This can be sent to any of the destinations.

+The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
+Andrew Tridgell email(samba@samba.org). Samba is now developed
+by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
+Linux kernel is developed.
+
+This man page source was written in YODL format (another excellent piece of Open
+Source software, available at
+url(bf(ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/))(ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/))
+for the Samba 2.2.0 release by Herb Lewis.
