It is very similar to the \fI/etc/hosts\fR file format, except that the hostname component must correspond to the NetBIOS naming format\&. + +.SH "FILE FORMAT" + +.PP +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: + +.TP 3 +\(bu +IP Address - in dotted decimal format\&. + +.TP +\(bu +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\&. + + +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\&. + +.LP + +.PP +An example follows: +.nf + +# +# Sample Samba lmhosts file\&. +# +192\&.9\&.200\&.1 TESTPC +192\&.9\&.200\&.20 NTSERVER#20 +192\&.9\&.200\&.21 SAMBASERVER + .fi + +.PP +Contains three IP to NetBIOS name mappings\&.

The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another excellent piece of Open Source software, available atftp://ftp\&.icce\&.rug\&.nl/pub/unix/) 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\&. + |
