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. + + + + OPTIONS + + + + -M + Searches for a master browser by looking + up the NetBIOS name name with a + type of 0x1d. If + name is "-" then it does a lookup on the special name + __MSBROWSE__. + + + + -R + 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. + + + + + -S + 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. + + + + + + -r + 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 nmbd(8) + daemon is running on this machine it also binds to this port. + + + + + + -A + Interpret name as + an IP Address and do a node status query on this address. + + + + + + + -h + Print a help (usage) message. + + + + + + -B <broadcast address> + 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 interfaces + parameter of the smb.conf (5) file. + + + + + + + -U <unicast address> + Do a unicast query to the specified address or + host unicast address. This option + (along with the -R option) is needed to + query a WINS server. + + + + + -d <debuglevel> + debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10. + + The default value if this parameter is not specified + is zero. + + The higher this value, the more detail will be logged + about the activities of nmblookup. At level + 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged. + + 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 data, most of which is extremely cryptic. + + Note that specifying this parameter here will override + the + log level parameter in the + smb.conf(5) file. + + + + -s <smb.conf> + This parameter specifies the pathname to + the Samba configuration file, + smb.conf(5). This file controls all aspects of + the Samba setup on the machine. + + + + -i <scope> + This specifies a NetBIOS scope that + nmblookup will use to communicate with when + generating NetBIOS names. For details on the use of NetBIOS + scopes, see rfc1001.txt and rfc1002.txt. NetBIOS scopes are + very rarely used, only set this parameter + if you are the system administrator in charge of all the + NetBIOS systems you communicate with. + + + + + -T + This causes any IP addresses found in the + lookup to be looked up via a reverse DNS lookup into a + DNS name, and printed out before each + + IP address .... NetBIOS name + + pair that is the normal output. + + + + + name + This is the NetBIOS name being queried. Depending + upon the previous options this may be a NetBIOS name or IP address. + If a NetBIOS name then the different name types may be specified + by appending '#<type>' to the name. This name may also be + '*', which will return all registered names within a broadcast + area. + + + + + + + EXAMPLES + + nmblookup can be used to query + a WINS server (in the same way nslookup is + used to query DNS servers). To query a WINS server, + nmblookup must be called like this: + + nmblookup -U server -R 'name' + + For example, running : + + nmblookup -U samba.org -R IRIX#1B' + + would query the WINS server samba.org for the domain + master browser (1B name type) for the IRIX workgroup. + + + + VERSION + + This man page is correct for version 2.2 of + the Samba suite. + + + + SEE ALSO + nmbd(8), + samba(7), and smb.conf(5) + + + + + AUTHOR + + The original Samba software and related utilities + were created by Andrew Tridgell. 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, available at + + ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/) and updated for the Samba 2.0 + release by Jeremy Allison.
