It +is very similar to the \fB/etc/hosts\fP file format, except that the +hostname component must correspond to the NetBIOS naming format\&. +.PP +.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 : +.PP +.IP +.IP o +\fBIP Address\fP - in dotted decimal format\&. +.IP +.IP o +\fBNetBIOS Name\fP - This name format is a maximum fifteen +character host name, with an optional trailing \f(CW\'#\'\fP character +followed by the NetBIOS name type as two hexadecimal digits\&. +.IP +If the trailing \f(CW\'#\'\fP 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\&. +.IP +.PP +An example follows : +.PP + +.DS + + + +# +# Sample Samba lmhosts file\&. +# +192\&.9\&.200\&.1 TESTPC +192\&.9\&.200\&.20 NTSERVER#20 +192\&.9\&.200\&.21 SAMBASERVER + +.DE + + +.PP +Contains three IP to NetBIOS name mappings\&.

Samba is now developed +by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the +Linux kernel is developed\&. +.PP +The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer\&.
