It +is very similar to the bf(/etc/hosts) file format, except that the +hostname component must correspond to the NetBIOS naming format. + +label(FILEFORMAT) +manpagesection(FILE FORMAT) + +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 : + +startit() + +it() bf(IP Address) - in dotted decimal format. + +it() bf(NetBIOS Name) - This name format is a maximum fifteen +character host name, with an optional trailing tt('#') character +followed by the NetBIOS name type as two hexadecimal digits. + +If the trailing tt('#') 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. + +endit() + +An example follows : + +verb( + +# +# Sample Samba lmhosts file. +# +192.9.200.1 TESTPC +192.9.200.20 NTSERVER#20 +192.9.200.21 SAMBASERVER +) + +Contains three IP to NetBIOS name mappings. The first and third will +be returned for any queries for the names tt("TESTPC") and +tt("SAMBASERVER") respectively, whatever the type component of the +NetBIOS name requested. + +The second mapping will be returned only when the tt("0x20") name type +for a name tt("NTSERVER") is queried. Any other name type will not be +resolved. + +The default location of the bf(lmhosts) file is in the same directory +as the url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.html) file. + +label(VERSION) +manpagesection(VERSION) + +This man page is correct for version 2.0 of the Samba suite. + +label(SEEALSO) +manpageseealso() + +url(bf(smb.conf (5)))(smb.conf.5.html#nameresolveorder), +url(bf(smbclient (1)))(smbclient.1.html#minusR), +url(bf(smbpasswd (8)))(smbpasswd.8.html#minusR), url(bf(samba (7)))(samba.7.html). + +label(AUTHOR) +manpageauthor() + +The original Samba software and related utilities were created by +Andrew Tridgell (samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). Samba is now developed +by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the +Linux kernel is developed. + +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) and updated for the Samba2.0 release by Jeremy +Allison, email(samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). + +See url(bf(samba (7)))(samba.7.html) to find out how to get a full +list of contributors and details on how to submit bug reports, +comments etc. |
