NAME

+ nmblookup - NetBIOS over TCP/IP client used to lookup NetBIOS names +

SYNOPSIS

+ +

nmblookup [-M] [-R] [-S] [-r] [-A] [-h] [-B broadcast address] [-U unicast address] [-d debuglevel] [-s smb config file] [-i NetBIOS scope] name +

DESCRIPTION

+ +

This program is part of the Samba suite. +

nmblookup 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 particlar IP broadcast area +or to a particular machine. All queries are done over UDP. +

OPTIONS

+ +

-M Searches for a master browser. This is done by doing a +broadcast 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. +

+
-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 privillage is +needed to bind to this port, and in addition, if the +nmbd 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 primary network +interface 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. This file controls all aspects of +the Samba setup on the machine and smbclient also needs to read this +file. +

+
-i scope This specifies a NetBIOS scope that smbclient 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. +

+
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. +

EXAMPLES

+ +

nmblookup can be used to query a WINS server (in the same way .B +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.anu.edu.au -R IRIX#1B' +

would query the WINS server samba.anu.edu.au for the domain master +browser (1B name type) for the IRIX workgroup. +

VERSION

+ +

This man page is correct for version 2.0 of the Samba suite. +

AUTHOR

+ +

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, samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au. +
