<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
-<p><br>This program is part of the <strong>Samba</strong> suite.
-<p><br><strong>nmblookup</strong> is used to query NetBIOS names and map them to IP
+<p>This program is part of the <strong>Samba</strong> suite.
+<p><strong>nmblookup</strong> is used to query NetBIOS names and map them to IP
addresses in a network using NetBIOS over TCP/IP queries. The options
allow the name queries to be directed at a particular IP broadcast area
or to a particular machine. All queries are done over UDP.

<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
-<p><br><ul>
-<p><br><a name="minusM"></a>
-<li><strong><strong>-M</strong></strong> Searches for a master browser by looking up the
+<p><dl>
+<p><a name="minusM"></a>
+<p></p><dt><strong><strong>-M</strong></strong><dd> Searches for a master browser by looking up the
NetBIOS name <a href="nmblookup.1.html#name"><strong>name</strong></a> with a type of 0x1d. If <a href="nmblookup.1.html#name"><strong>name</strong></a>
is <code>"-"</code> then it does a lookup on the special name <code>__MSBROWSE__</code>.
-<p><br><a name="minusR"></a>
-<li><strong><strong>-R</strong></strong> Set the recursion desired bit in the packet to do a
+<p><a name="minusR"></a>
+<p></p><dt><strong><strong>-R</strong></strong><dd> Set the recursion desired bit in the packet to do a
recursive lookup. This is used when sending a name query to a machine
running a WINS server and the user wishes to query the names in the
WINS server. If this bit is unset the normal (broadcast responding)
NetBIOS processing code on a machine is used instead. See rfc1001,
rfc1002 for details.
-<p><br><a name="minusS"></a>
-<li><strong><strong>-S</strong></strong> Once the name query has returned an IP address then do a
+<p><a name="minusS"></a>
+<p></p><dt><strong><strong>-S</strong></strong><dd> Once the name query has returned an IP address then do a
node status query as well. A node status query returns the NetBIOS names
registered by a host.
-<p><br><a name="minusr"></a>
-<li><strong><strong>-r</strong></strong> Try and bind to UDP port 137 to send and receive UDP
+<p><a name="minusr"></a>
+<p></p><dt><strong><strong>-r</strong></strong><dd> Try and bind to UDP port 137 to send and receive UDP
datagrams. The reason for this option is a bug in Windows 95 where it
ignores the source port of the requesting packet and only replies to
UDP port 137. Unfortunately, on most UNIX systems root privilage is
needed to bind to this port, and in addition, if the
<a href="nmbd.8.html"><strong>nmbd</strong></a> daemon is running on this machine it also
binds to this port.
-<p><br><a name="minusA"></a>
-<li><strong><strong>-A</strong></strong> Interpret &lt;name&gt; as an IP Address and do a node status
+<p><a name="minusA"></a>
+<p></p><dt><strong><strong>-A</strong></strong><dd> Interpret &lt;name&gt; as an IP Address and do a node status
query on this address.

+<p><a name="minusB"></a>
+<p></p><dt><strong><strong>-B broadcast address</strong></strong><dd> Send the query to the given broadcast
address. Without this option the default behavior of nmblookup is to
send the query to the broadcast address of the network
interfaces as either auto-detected or defined in the

<a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf (5)</strong></a> file.

address or host <code>"unicast address"</code>. This option (along with the
<a href="nmblookup.1.html#minusR"><strong>-R</strong></a> option) is needed to query a WINS server.

communicate with.

+<p><strong>smbclient</strong> is a client that can 'talk' to an SMB/CIFS server. It
offers an interface similar to that of the ftp program (see <strong>ftp
(1)</strong>). Operations include things like getting files from the server
to the local machine, putting files from the local machine to the
server, retrieving directory information from the server and so on.

+<p><strong>smbd</strong> is the server daemon that provides filesharing and printing
services to
Windows clients. The server provides filespace and printer services to
clients using the SMB (or CIFS) protocol. This is compatible with the
LanManager protocol, and can service LanManager clients. These
include MSCLIENT 3.0 for DOS, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95,
Windows NT, OS/2, DAVE for Macintosh, and smbfs for Linux.

a copy of the server for each session. This copy then services all

automatically reloaded every minute, if they change. You can force a
reload by sending a SIGHUP to the server. Reloading the configuration

established. Either the user will have to disconnect from the
service, or smbd killed and restarted.

utilities such as the tcpd TCP-wrapper may be used for extra security.
For serious use as file server it is recommended that <strong>smbd</strong> be run
as a daemon.

+<p>Now replace the account lines with this:
+<pre>

+ account required /lib/security/pam_winbind.so
+
+</pre>
+
+<p>The next step is to join the domain. To do that use the samedit
+program like this:
+<pre>
+
+ samedit -S '*' -W DOMAIN -UAdministrator
+
+</pre>
+
+<p>Then within samedit run the command:
+<pre>
+
+ createuser MACHINE$ -j DOMAIN -L
+
+</pre>
+
+<p>This assumes your domain is called DOMAIN and your Samba workstation
+is called MACHINE.
+<p>Next copy libnss_winbind.so.2 to /lib and pam_winbind.so to
+/lib/security.
+<p>Finally, setup a smb.conf containing directives like the following:
+<pre>
+
+ [global]
+ winbind separator = +
+ winbind cache time = 10
+ template shell = /bin/bash
+ template homedir = /home/%D/%U
+ winbind uid = 10000-20000
+ winbind gid = 10000-20000
+ workgroup = DOMAIN
+ security = domain
+ password server = *
+
+</pre>
+
+<p>Now start winbindd and you should find that your user and group
+database is expanded to include your NT users and groups, and that you
+can login to your unix box as a domain user, using the DOMAIN+user
+syntax for the username. You may wish to use the commands "getent
+passwd" and "getent group" to confirm the correct operation of
+winbindd.
