To query a WINS server, +.B nmblookup +must be called like this: + +.B nmblookup +-U server -R 'query' + +For example, running ' +.B 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) for the +IRIX workgroup. + +.SH VERSION + +This man page is (mostly) correct for version 1.9.16 of the Samba +suite, plus some of the recent patches to it. These notes will +necessarily lag behind development of the software, so it is possible +that your version of the server has extensions or parameter semantics +that differ from or are not covered by this man page. Please notify +these to the address below for rectification. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR samba (8), +.BR nmbd (8), +.BR smb.conf (5) +.SH CREDITS +The original Samba software and related utilities were created by +Andrew Tridgell (samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au).
